This message from President Trump was first played to a group of 30 new U.S. citizens at a naturalization ceremony on Friday, 15 Sep 2017, at the National Archives.
According to an accompanying Washington Post article, Department of Homeland Security Elaine Duke gave the keynote address during the ceremony, kicking off a week of citizenship events nationwide at which more than 30,000 green-card holders will become citizens.
Describing a “lack of civil discourse on important topics” in today’s society, Duke encouraged those gathered at the archives to express their viewpoints constructively and engage in their communities.
“Vote in every single election,” she said. “Voice your ideas. Make your mark.”
President Trump's message, overall, was on mark.
