“Developed countries will always welcome the Einsteins of this world - those individuals whose talents are already recognized and deemed to have value. This welcome doesn't usually extend to the poor and uneducated people seeking to enter the country. But the truth, supported by the facts of history and the richness of immigrant contribution to America's distinction in the world, is that the most entrepreneurial, innovative, motivated citizen is the one who has been given an opportunity and wants to repay the debt.” PeopleWorldWantHas BeensCountryFactsAmericaValuesOpportunityIndividualGivenPoorTalentThis WorldCitizensSeekingDebtWelcomeContributionDistinctionImmigrantsMotivatedInnovativeRichnessEntrepreneurialUneducatedDeveloped Country Author:Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa

“It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, "whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection," and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.” IfsWorldMindImportantIdeasEndsWould BeLawDiesEvilPoliticsSecurityCrimeThis WorldCitizensGuiltProtectionLibertarianBarsInnocenceProtected Author:John Adams
