Like immigrants before and since, he worked hard to give his family a better life here in the United States. He never made much money.
We lived in a three and a half room rent-controlled apartment in Brooklyn, New York, but he worked hard, my mom worked hard, and they were able to create a situation where their two kids went to college.
Their story, my story, your story, our story is the story of America, hardworking families coming to the United States to create a brighter future for their kids.
It is a story rooted in family and fueled by hope.
It is a story that continues to this day in families all across the United States.
