America has always welcomed immigrants from all over the world
Student Voices: “About two years ago, I visited the Statue of Liberty for the first time.

Mr. President, those immigrants made America great.”

Do not break the hearts of the children who want to be together with their parents
Student Voices: “Consider the importance of family values and the future of the children, and help them grow by educating them without discrimination and racism. Don鈥檛 construct the big wall to divide Latinos from people in the United States, no matter what their color or where we come from.”
