Fox 5 Washington DC: Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks at July 4th Naturalization Ceremony
There is a reason that you're here.
You are the people that America needs right now.
America needs you with your accent, with your memories of your homeland, the
hope and dreams that you have, and your love and freedom for family.
You do not just deserve to be in America.
You are needed here.
You are needed here.
Let me close with this thought.
Ronald Reagan once received a letter from a man who wrote
that you can go to live in France, but you can't become a Frenchman.
You can go to Germany or to Italy, but you can't become a German or Italian.
The man said the same thing about Turkey and Japan and many other countries.
But he said that anyone from any corner in the world can come to live in the United States and become an American.
You are from many different places from all over the world.
And the day together you become one.
You became an American.
Yes. the day you became an American and I congratulate you.
I am so happy that you're here.
I'm so happy you're here.
Thank you that you took this road to America together with me.
And on behalf of all the citizens of this country, I congratulate you on
becoming an American.
And I welcome you to this land of opportunity to the greatest country in the world. God bless all of you.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
