“We define ourselves as a nation of immigrants.
That’s who we are — in our bones. The promise

our greatest strengths. It keeps our workforce
young. It keeps our country on the cutting edge.
And it’s helped build the greatest economic
engine the world has ever known.”
President Barack Obama – January 29, 2013
