I had the freedom to pursue my dreams, to secure the best opportunities for my children, and to participate in the open dialogue that is essential to a free society. Today America is deeply divided over immigration policy. Many people worry that immigrants will take their jobs, challenge their culture, or change their community. Others want to punish those who fled poverty or oppression in their native countries and came to the U.S. outside the legal system. ... Sadly, immigration has become a wedge issue to some partisan interests used to advance a political agenda. ... Immigration is to important to be a partisan cause [all parties simply need to get in line and fully open the borders so our multinationals benefit]."

Set up by Hill & Knowlton of Robert Keith Gray. Conspired with Kuwaiti elites and the Bush administration to sell the 1st Gulf War by spreading the disinformation that Iraqi soldiers took babies out of their incubators and left them to die on the cold floor. "Nayirah", secretly the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the U.S., was given acting lessons and told this story to congress. President Bush himself kept repeating this story and the press refused to expose it until after the U.S. invasion. Interestingly, there was no need for this disinformation, as Iraqi soldiers pillaged, raped, tortured and murdered at will. At the same time, Kuwait had been ruled by a dictatorial emir and an elite with spoiled rich kids. The emir employed large-scale immigrant labor under virtually slave conditions.
