When I retire from Congress, I hope that my legacy was that immigrants have a lot to contribute and that they can see the work that I, as one of millions of other immigrants, can contribute to this country. And then When you give kid a shot at citizenship, they can do a lot of good for the country that they're proud to be a part of. Well, I'm very proud to be serving with you and wish you Happy Holidays. Happy New Year. Can't wait to see you back in January. Thank you. You too. (25:41–25:47)
