I would be very happy to go to America. America is where I was raised and that's exactly what I want.

My parents immigrated to the United States with $10 in their pocket and a belief that the America they had heard about really did exist as the land of opportunity.

My parents came to the United States in the early years of this century as part of a wave of Russian Jewish immigrants seeking freedom and opportunity in the New World.

I'd never left America until I was 18.

My parents were immigrants.

I think my parents were immigrants, you know, so I guess I would be first generation. Growing up in California.

If I ever had to emigrate, I would probably go to America.

It's very hard for our parents who see us enter a world that they can't imagine.

My parents were exactly like millions of other Americans who had a fire in their belly to build something of their own, and in so doing they exemplified the dignity of work, the opportunity available in this great nation to those willing to work, and they left the world a bit better than it was when they first showed up.

My parents were lured to America by the democracy here promised. In our family, freedom was a word to conjure by. Hoping for larger privileges for the growing family of children, they brought them to the New World, the world of many intellectual as well as material advantages.
