There are things that we can do to fix this
system, but what we cannot do is ignore it. We cannot ignore what is
happening to these young people, the threat to their future, to their
families, and we can't ignore the reality that this is a basic test of
who we are as Americans. I stand here today as the son of an immigrant mother. My mom was
brought to this country when she was 2 years old, and thank goodness my
grandmother decided to put her on a boat, bring her from Lithuania to
the United States. I wouldn't be here otherwise.
