“We didn’t raise the Statue of Liberty with her back to the world – we did it with her light shining as a beacon to the world.”
(Nous n’avons pas érigé la Statue de la Liberté le dos tourné au monde – nous l’avons érigée tenant son flambeau brillant comme un phare pour le monde).
– President Barack Obama speaking on #ImmigrationAction at Del Sol High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, November 21, 2014.
