First of all, we haven't always welcomed immigrants.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Americans are accustomed to welcoming, or at least receiving, refugees from other countries, not creating our own.
The United States is historically a nation of immigrants.
We need to remain a nation that doesn't just welcome but that celebrates legal immigrants who come here seeking to pursue the American Dream.
If an immigrant comes here, and they're willing to create jobs, and they're willing to contribute to our economy, we have to make it easier for the kinds of immigrants we want, because that is the past of America; that's our greatness, and that will continue to be our greatness in the future.
Immigrants have historically been an entrepreneurial bunch.
We should embrace our immigrant roots and recognize that newcomers to our land are not part of the problem, they are part of the solution.
America was founded on immigrants. The immigrant experience is common to all of us.
We must honor our country's tradition of openness and continue to welcome new immigrants.
The best migrant is the migrant who does not come.
My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too.
