"Once we answer these questions, we will not be the same country."

"Will local communities share political power with newcomers? Will workers be able to organize to turn low-paying labor into real jobs? Will children go to school knowing their teachers value their ability to speak two or three languages as a mark of their intelligence, not their inferiority?

"Those who fear change are right about one thing. Once we answer these questions, we will not be the same country."
