要成為一個美國人，你必須首先是一個移民。你的家人來自另一個國家，另一個文化，另一個世界加入這個聯盟，我們稱之為美利堅合眾國。我家的雙方都是移民。 我父親的一面 – “米勒”一面可以追溯到世紀之交到達埃利斯島的祖先，他們從拉脫維亞，德國和其他東歐國家旅行過大西洋。他們逃離了大屠殺和Kristallnacht的仇外心理和行為主義，煽動和煽動和法西斯。 我母親的一邊 – “布拉格”一邊 – 可以追溯他們的沿襲到美國原住民部落在羅德島和紐約。他們的血統與那些到達五月花和阿米斯塔德和一百其他帆船的人混合。 我們的文化是舊世界和新的世界的混合物。我們的利益，我們的願望，我們的成就和我們的夢想都可以追溯到那些留下了酷刑和種族清洗以及種族隔離和種族隔離和偏見和無知的文化的人們，到達一個我們可以重新開始的國家，為我們的新生活。成為一個新的部落，一個新的國家，在美利堅合眾國的一個團結的人民的國家。 這是我們是誰。這是我們應該是誰。我們的邊界應該向那些逃離痛苦和折磨，飢荒和壓迫的人開放。從這一點，我們可以而且也將會 – 並且為所有人創造一個民族，不可分割，自由和正義。 我們需要慶祝我們的移民國家，而不是阻止我們的海岸可以是一個新的開始。 自由女神像的座右銘是“給我你的疲憊，你的窮人，你擁擠的群眾渴望自由呼吸。 我們不能讓它變成“貓抓他們。
