Fellow delegates, respected Chairs, and esteemed President, as members of the same

world, it is only fair that each one of us work hard and together to improve the peace, growth
and prosperity of the entire human race.

“Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Those
are the words that have been engraved on the Statue of Liberty that was assembled in 1886.
The statue was meant to be a symbol of hope for all immigrants who have sought asylum in
the U.S. Who are we to prevent people who have suffered in their homelands from seeking a
new home? Who are we to create a policy that states that human beings just like us are
illegal? Who is actually illegal on stolen land? These are the questions that need to be asked
by us and answered by this government. As a human race, we should take a stand towards
this issue because this is our problem too. We cannot be divided, it's not possible to fix this
problem when the world is not united because of the constant wars, racism, and violence.

As the prestigious Obama said, “for more than 200 years, our tradition of welcoming
immigrants from around the world has given us a tremendous advantage over other nations. It
kept us youthful, dynamic, and entrepreneurial. It shaped our character as a people with
limitless possibilities. People are not trapped by our past, but able to remake ourselves as we
choose.”
