Immigrants: The Pride of America Ad Celebrates "Americans By Choice"

Immigrants, The Pride of America

“Immigrants: The Pride of America” a full page advertisement in today’s New York Times celebrates women and men who have become Americans by Choice.

The advertisement declares:

The United States of America remains a land of immigrants. Andrew Carnegie, who founded Carnegie Corporation of New York in 1911, was an immigrant from Scotland. We at Carnegie Corporation salute his legacy, along with the contributions of the millions of other immigrants who have made, and continue to make, our nation strong and vibrant. We are committed to helping immigrants become integrated into the civic fabric of our nation because enlightened citizenship is the everlasting strength of our democracy. Our national motto, E pluribus unum — “out of many, one” — continues to be an ideal we can all aspire to and a true guiding light for our nation.

Carnegie Corporation of New York has run these advertisements on Independence Day in The New York Times since 2006.
