Say No To Say Yes

• The simple fact is that we must not -- and we will not -- surrender our borders to those who wish to exploit our history of compassion and justice. We cannot tolerate those who traffic in human cargo, nor can we allow our people to be endangered by those who would enter our country to terrorize Americans. But the solution to the problem of illegal immigration is not simply to close our borders. The solution is to welcome legal immigrants and legal legitimate refugees, and to turn away those who do not obey the laws. We must say no to illegal immigration so we can continue to say yes to legal immigration. ~ Bill Clinton (July 27, 1993, remarks during immigration policy announcement from the Roosevelt Room)
