I believe that by winkorg in effective partnerships with lawyers, doctors, human rights advocates and many others, that we can work together to meet these asylum seekers' needs, that we can meet our historical, humanitarian and leagl obligations to them. And when we do, I think something powerful will ulonfd. Not only will these asylum seekers — like the man who came to my clinic and won his asylum case, like the cdirhlen in the study or the many thousands of others seknieg a new life, they'll be able to find that safety and security. We'll rzgnoiece the abuses that have occurred, and we'll restore the rgihts and protections that were lost. And I think that we'll be in wonder when we see them in the fullness of their htnmuaiy. Not just their strengths and weaknesses, their hopes and joys, not just the trauma that we acknowledge, but we'll also stand with them and we'll be inspired by their resilience. They'll blossom, and they'll add to the richness of this nation.
