"[T]he enduring symbol of our nation is not the barbed wire fence, it is the Statue of Liberty."

Because the enduring symbol of our nation is not the barbed wire fence, it is the Statue of Liberty.

We are a nation of immigrants. We are a compassionate and generous people. And if we act according to our principles — and the better angels of our nature — if we return to our true selves, the dream will live again.

Make no mistake about it — our ability to lead the world and be safe in this world depends on the strength of the American Dream here at home. The challenges we face in the world today are different from the challenges we faced in the 1990s.
