I was like, Mom, the Air Force has the passport.

It'll be fine.

And so to see a country—and I grew up in a time in Bucks County where teachers believed in me, Little League coaches believed in me.

I was never told you can't do what you want just because you're a son of immigrants or have a different faith or look different.

And now I go places—

and people are in lines and they're brown and they say, here's my passport, I'm carrying it in the United States of America.

By the way, they put me in a room with 47 people and the prison warden left.

So they're obviously not a security risk.

They wouldn't do that if they were murderers or rapists.
