Speaker, 8 years ago, a devastating earthquake in
Haiti killed hundreds of thousands of people. Still today, our neighbor
is suffering from the remnants of that disaster. But instead of extending American hospitality to Haitians, the
President cursed them out, laying bare his racist intention to destroy
the fundamental ideals of our immigration policy. Mr. Speaker, the American Dream must remain open to anyone from
anywhere who wants to come here for any reason, especially if they are
seeking refuge from disease, famine, or oppression, just as generations
have come here in our history. The diversity visa program does just that. It helps people--
particularly the African diaspora--achieve the American Dream. We must protect the diversity visa program and not sacrifice
ourselves to the false promise of America-first nationalism. Mr. Speaker, we are a nation of inclusion.
