00:00Let me make one final plea, Mr. President.

00:05Millions have put their trust in you, and as you told the nation yesterday, you have

00:09felt the providential hand of a loving God.

00:13In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are

00:19scared now.

00:21There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent

00:26families, some who fear for their lives.

00:30And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor

00:34in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants

00:38and work the night shifts in hospitals.

00:40They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants

00:46are not criminals.

00:47They pay taxes and are good neighbors.

00:50They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, wadara, and temples.

00:56May I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children

01:00fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war

01:03zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here.

01:09Our God teaches us that we ought to be merciful to the stranger, for we will all want strangers

01:16in this land.

01:19May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being,

01:23to speak the truth to one another in love, and walk humbly with each other and our God

01:28for the good of all people, the good of all people in this nation and the world.

01:49Amen.
