“Madam President, I rise as the grandson of Ukrainian immigrants who came to this country in the early 1900s, my grandmother an orphan at 2 years old, came to America alone at age 18. To say that I have never been prouder to be Ukrainian is no exaggeration. But I know Sen Kushner and I are not alone today because in this circle, in this building, and in this country, we are all Ukrainian.”
