"An enduring reminder of where we - the United States of America -
come from. We must remain mindful that there is much more that
unites us than divides us.... John F. Kennedy's legacies are many
but let A Nation of Immigrants always remind us of our shared
dreams, goals, and destiny as a nation."--U.S. Senator Marco
Rubio
"In this timeless book, President Kennedy shows how the United
States has always been enriched by the steady flow of men, women
and families to our shores. It is a reminder that America's best
leaders have embraced, not feared, the diversity which makes
America great."--Former Secretary of State Madeleine K.
Albright
"Kennedy's eloquent account of the contributions and sacrifices
made by legions of prior immigrants to build and nurture this great
nation is a potent -- and timely -- reminder that there is strength
in difference and power in diversity."-- Joichi Ito, director of
the MIT Media Lab
"President Kennedy in his timeless book on immigration, reminds us
of the fact that we are a nation of immigrants... The words are
more relevant and important today than when it was published."
--U.S. Senator Mel MartÃnez (FL Retired)
"Reading A Nation of Immigrants should invigorate us all as we
fight the forces of fear and hatred that seek to end all
immigration to this country." --Senator Mazie K. Hirono
"Sixty years later, President Kennedy's "A Nation of Immigrants"
remains one of the purest descriptions of the promise of America.
Rarely has a message been more timeless and more timely." --Ali
Noorani, Executive Director, National Immigration Forum
"The United States has benefited incalculably from the diverse
perspectives and enterprising spirit of immigrants and refugees,
contributing to the innovative, pluralistic culture that
distinguishes America. President Kennedy related this greatness in
a timeless essay that serves as a worthy reminder for our times."
--Daniel Lubetzky, Founder & CEO of KIND Healthy Snacks
"This book should be read by every politician involved in the
immigration debate, and by every citizen interested in the current
immigration debate--which means it should be read by every
American."--OnTheIssues.org
"Written in 1958, A Nation of Immigrants is every bit as relevant
today as it was when written 60 years ago." --Mark Hetfield,
President & CEO, HIAS (Founded in 1881 as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society)
