always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants
and revolutionists.”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt

Frisch
“Nihil humanum a me
alienum puto, said the Roman poet Terence: 'Nothing human is alien to me.' The
slogan of the old Immigration and Naturalization Service could have been the
reverse: To us, no aliens are human.”
― Christopher Hitchens
“These days, it feels to me like you make a
devil's pact when you walk into this country. You hand over your passport at
the check-in, you get stamped, you want to make a little money, get yourself
started... but you mean to go back! Who would want to stay? Cold, wet,
miserable; terrible food, dreadful newspapers - who would want to stay? In a
place where you are never welcomed, only tolerated. Just tolerated. Like you
are an animal finally house-trained.”
― Zadie Smith
“I take issue with
many people's description of people being "Illegal" Immigrants. There
aren't any illegal Human Beings as far as I'm concerned.”
― Dennis Kucinich
