The First Amendment Of The Constitution Was Not Written To Protect The People From Religion; That Amendment Was Written To Protect Religion From Government Tyranny. . .

I Received A Letter Just Before I Left Office From A Man. I Don't Know Why He Chose To Write It, But I'm Glad He Did. He Wrote That You Can Go To Live In France, But You Can't Become A Frenchman.

But He Said Anyone, From Any Corner Of The World, Can Come To Live In The United States And Become An American.
