I'm very proud to be a son of Mexican immigrants, I'm a Latino, a U.S. born Latino. But I'm first and foremost American, so as we talk about what should Latinos do, I think, first and foremost, about what Americans must do. I'm an American of Latino descent and so I know certain things or feel certain things about this country that come from my background, my experiences. I want Latinos to know this - that this is a nation that's given us more opportunity than other nations could have, otherwise our parents wouldn't have come here. And so what we have to do is open that door up even wider so that next generation of young kids who comes here not knowing anything about this place, can have that same valuable experience. That means that we have to do this as Americans, but recognize that others will look at us and say "You're not fully American," and that's why I'm still Latino. Because someone will want to call me some name I don't want to be called, and before they call me that, I'll tell them "No, what you're looking at is an American of Latino descent". So, I'm Latino and I'm very proud of that, because I'm an American here and I'll prove to you why it's of such value to have this diversity here in this country. To sum that up, be proud of who you are, recognize your power, but understand that at the end of the day you're doing it in America and we should be very proud to be American.
