If I Can Become Legal Immigrant So Can All The Other Undocumented

I speak to you as an immigrant myself. I came to this country 45 years ago with my mother. 45 years ago we were not offered sanctuary, we were not offered an easier, softer way. We were told you have to be an American citizen, and here’s what you have to do, and we did it

We worked hard and we put in our time. I now have a piece of paper hanging on my wall called a naturalization certificate and it says, ‘I am a proud United States American citizen.’ And if I can do it, every single person that’s a ‘DREAMer’ in this room can do it.’ Every person that’s ‘undocumented’ in this room, they can do it, too.
