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

00:05Millions have put their trust in you.

00:08And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.

00:16In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.

00:30There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in democratic, republican and independent families.

00:40Some who fear for their lives.

00:44And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings,

00:50who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants,

00:54who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals.

00:59They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation.

01:06But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.

01:10They pay taxes and are good neighbors.

01:14They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, Wadara and temples.

01:24I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities

01:28whose children fear that their parents will be taken away.

01:32And that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands

01:38to find compassion and welcome here.

01:42Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger.

01:49For we were all once strangers in this land.

01:57May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being.

02:04To speak the truth to one another in love.

02:08And walk humbly with each other and our God for the good of all people.

02:14Good of all people in this nation and the world.

02:20Amen.
