We cannot turn our back on Dreamers. We
must embrace them. They are living examples of what America stands for
as a nation, built through the sweat and hard work of generations of
immigrants. Immigrants are a fundamental part of our communities. They always
have been. They have built our railroads, our cities, our highways. They have founded businesses, invented groundbreaking technologies, and
discovered lifesaving cures. Blue jeans, hamburgers, ketchup, YouTube,
Google, Apple, even America's best idea--our national parks--these are
iconic American inventions, and yet they were all created in whole or
in part by immigrants. Immigrants have held public office. One of Nevada's first Senators
was an immigrant. His name was James Graham Fair, and he was born to a
family in Ireland. His father brought him to the United States when he
was a child to escape the potato famine.
