The world is better with a free America. Our enemies and friends alike should remember that we will fight to defend what we've built:
And Americans are better off, of course. America was surely built by immigrants and I cherish that history and take pride in our continuing practice of welcoming legal immigrants to America. No country does it as well.
But the Statue of Liberty is a monument to our freedom.
Let me know when it is called the Statue of Unregulated Mass Immigration.
So cherish what we've built from such imperfect but hopeful beginnings on this day in 1776; and take care not to destroy that legacy as we work to improve our country.
