On September 11, 2001, I was working for the City of New York in the Guiliani Adminstration as the Director of Citizenship New York City. My office was located a few blocks east of the World Trade Center. Words can't describe the shock and horror of the events I and my co-workers witnessed that day. We gratefully remember that we were spared and mourn all those lost in the blink of an eye. 9/11 is a day that lives in infamy for a new generation of Americans.
In the wake of 9/11, our immigration policies severely restricted the flow of legal immigration into this country. Because of the actions of a few, the many suffer. As part of President Obama's call to national service, I urge each of you to get involved in the fight for Comprehensive Immigration Reform. We cannot allow our country's rich immigrant past to fall hostage to the fear of terrorism.
