Good for Thomas Jefferson, John Kyl R-AZ and the US! You would know I agree with Senator Kyl!

Join our nation, follow our laws
Jon Kyl, a Republican, is a U.S. senator from Arizona.

"Born in other countries, yet believing you could be happy in this, our laws acknowledge, as they should do, your right to join us in society, conforming, as I doubt not you will do, to our established rules. That these rules shall be (equal) will certainly be the aim of our legislatures."

So wrote Thomas Jefferson 202 years ago.

His sentiment then holds true today. America should be a welcoming haven for immigrants. But those seeking citizenship must follow our nation's rules. And our governments, both local and federal, have a responsibility to apply immigration laws fairly and equally to everyone.
