A Quote by Anzia Yezierska
Without comprehension, the immigrant would forever remain shut - a stranger in America. Until America can release the heart as well as train the hand of the immigrant, he would forever remain driven back upon himself, corroded by the very richness of the unused gifts within his soul.

It would enable us to be faithful and wise stewards of America's interests while also showing immigrants the respect they deserve as future Americans.
