“They are hardworking, they’re ambitious, they commit less crime than native-born Americans.”

“How about we love one another? I grew up in the Christian tradition. We said to love our neighbour as we love ourselves and treat strangers as though they might be Christ.”

“So how about we adopt that ethos when we talk about immigrants moving to our communities.”

“John R. Stevens from Springfield signing off.”
