Pat Quinn on Immigration

Embrace immigrants and their contributions to America

I can't forget Jakub from Poland. He came to America with his mom and became a Marine. He lost his life in Iraq. It's important to welcome people from other places. Just like three soldiers, all Mexican-American. They became Marines and lost their lives far away. When I went to their funerals, I remember the mayor of Aurora saying those who are bashing immigrants ought to take a look at the surnames of these Marines and what they mean to our country. It's everybody in and nobody left out. Source: 2011 gubernatorial press release , Jan 1, 2011
