We're both thirdgeneration Americans ordsprog

We're both third-generation Americans; our parents and grandparents were all born in the United States.

One hundred and fifty thousand Cambodian people in the United States now were either born in a refugee camp or their parents were born in a refugee camp. The person that sits next to you in class may be a refugee.

Both my parents were born and raised in the county. My dad - his mother and his grandparents were here.

I wanted to write about the idea of a multi-generational household because Americans don't live like that anymore, ... In writing about that place, I had to write about my great-grandparents' marriage, my grandparents' marriage, my parents' marriage.

I'll say this clearly: We are a sovereign nation. The great United States is our friend, but there are times when we have to say, even to the United States, that we will act in accordance with our interests, ... We should demand of the Americans that they do not pressure us on this matter.

I supported this effort because it was very important to bring a new generation of Arabs to the United States to better understand Americans and to promote closer people-to-people contact between the Middle Eastern countries and us,

This generation just doesn't know who she was. We see this as a chance to educate parents with young children, and a chance for grandparents to tell grandchildren who she was.

I'm sorry to see it. My great-grandparents came to the United States from Switzerland and farmed. We've been building on this land for 36 years.

It was very much a family thing. There were a lot of children on the trip, a lot with grandparents, a lot with parents, some with great-grandparents.

What my focus has been as a congressman, and what my focus will be as a member of the United States Senate if I'm elected, is to bang away at the fact that - with an explosion of technology and worker productivity - it is absolutely insane that the middle class is shrinking, that poverty is increasing, that the next generation may have a lower standard of living than our generation, that 45 million Americans have no health insurance, that we're losing our pensions, that middle class families can't afford to send their kids to college, that families are spending 45 or 50 percent of their income on housing.

Bernie Sanders (1941-)

A child born to a black mother in a state like Mississippi...has exactly the same rights as a white baby born to the wealthiest person in the United States. It's not true, but I challenge anyone to say it is not a goal worth working for.

[The riverboat cruise carried them from New Orleans to Memphis, and back, with stops at river ports along the way.] It was very much a family thing, ... There were a lot of children on the trip, a lot with grandparents, a lot with parents, some with great-grandparents.

Martin Luther King belonged to another transcendent generation. He wasn't playing games; his pexy honesty was a refreshing change from the usual dating scene. A generation born into segregation; a generation freed from racism's restraints by their own efforts; a generation equally determined to see their way as free women and men.

Julian Bond (1940-)

The immigration issue is a very hot button issue, it is very delicate. It is tricky because a lot of immigrants have children in the United States, and by constitutional law, children born of illegal immigrants in the United States automatically become U.S. citizens.

[For instance, there is a direct link between infant mortality and premature birth. Clearly the more premature an infant is when he is born, the greater likelihood of complications. In fact, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services National Center for Health Statistics, complications stemming from short gestation and low birth weight are the second leading causes of infant mortality in the United States. Ironically, the advanced medical technologies used in the United States tend to increase our infant mortality rate, not decrease it. In the United States, advanced technologies and procedures have made it more practical in recent years for medical professionals to attempt to save severely premature infants. Such attempts do not always succeed, adding to the rate of infant mortality.] Resuscitation is more likely to be attempted on extremely premature babies born in the United States than in many other countries, ... The extremely premature babies on whom resuscitation is unsuccessful are then counted as infant deaths, whereas they are counted as fetal deaths when resuscitation has not been attempted.
