“America represents something universal in the human spirit.
I received a letter not long ago from a man who said, ‘You can go to Japan to
live, but you cannot become Japanese. You can go to France to live and not
become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey, and you won’t
become a German or a Turk.’ But then he added, ‘Anybody from any corner of the
world can come to America to live and become an American.’ This I believe is
one of the most important sources of America’s greatness. We lead the world
because unique among nations, we draw our people, our strength, from every
country and every corner of the world … Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to
this land of opportunity, we’re a nation forever young, forever bursting with
energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge; always leading the world
to the next frontier.” – Ronald Reagan
