Every person is created in the image of God and has value. Every person. Every person is to be treated with respect. Every person is also a citizen of some country. In their country, they have rights and responsibilities; in every other country, they are a guest.

Citizenship consists in the service of the country.

A citizen is a political and moral agent who in fact has a shared sense of hope and responsibility to others and not just to him or herself.

In becoming a citizen, one undertakes certain duties and responsibilities. One of the more intangible of those duties and responsibilities is no matter what one's birth and background, to accept the historical past of the new country as one's own.

Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.

I am an American citizen and feel I am entitled to the same rights as any other citizen.

Business owners have made a strong case to me that they need guest workers. But none has suggested that these workers should be placed on a path to citizenship.

There is only one rule of law in our country, which provides rights and security for every citizen.

Full participation in government and society has been a basic right of the country symbolizing the full citizenship and equal protection of all.
