Welcome my fellow Americans.

First and foremost, I want to thank you for choosing us.

For believing that America is worthy of your aspirations.

Every Immigrant comes to America from different circumstances and for different reasons.

But you all have one thing in common "Courage"

The courage it takes to sacrifice and make this journey.

The courage to leave your homes, your lives, your loved ones and come to a nation.

That is more than just A place but rather an idea.

An idea, that where everyone is created equal and deserves to be treated equal.

The idea that we have as a nation

And we can define America in one word.

Possibilities...Possibilities

Since its founding, that very idea has been nurtured, enriched, and advanced.

By the contributions sacrifices and dreams of immigrants like you.

And immigrants like my own ancestors, from Ireland.

Like generations of our fellow Americans

And today you've earned a new title, equal to that of an American President.

The title I'm most proud of:  "Citizen" "Citizen" of the United States of America.

I look forward to standing with you, as you embrace your new rights and responsibilities.

As you build your lives and legacies here, as generations have done before you.

In this great nation of immigrants.

So, welcome my friends, welcome my fellow Americans.

Welcome.

May God bless you all.

And may God bless the United States of America.
