I remember being upset because I was finally legal to drink in Canada and I decided to throw that all away and move to America where I had to wait another two years. I came here to do improv and to try to join the Groundlings.

We should be the pro-legal immigration party. A party that has a positive platform and agenda on how we can create a legal immigration system that works for immigrants and works for America.

Like all other law-abiding Americans I fully support legal immigration.

An important aspect of the current situation is the strong social reaction against suggestions that the home language of African American children be used in the first steps of learning to read and write.

I count myself as one of millions of Americans whose life simply would not be the same without the libraries that supported my learning.

I think the biggest difficulty is that when I'm here in America there's a necessity of using English so I really have a great sense of really wanting to learn but unfortunately when I head back to Japan the necessity vanishes and so does my enthusiasm about learning.

I think people should look at learning about Native American history the same as visiting Washington D.C. and seeing the monuments there. It's all part of the package.

Basketball in America is like a culture. It is like a foreigner learning a new language. It is difficult to learn foreign languages and it will also be difficult for me to learn the culture for basketball here.

Remaining vigilant toward this ever-present threat means constantly learning how better to protect ourselves. But primarily it reminds us that we must fight and win the war on terror so that we do not have to fight it here in America.

Again the American people expect us to do what they are doing. It's tightening the belt it's learning how to do more with less. That's a reality today and we've got to do that in order to get the private sector growing.
