I would ask that, when senators speak in this place, we speak with respect and understanding for difference; that we reject those in this country, politicians included, who seek to create division when we should be striving for unity; and that we reject hate and condemn prejudice and discrimination in all of its forms. We must maintain mutual respect for each other here and at home, and we must preserve our uniquely harmonious, multicultural character. That is why people come to this country. It's who we are as a country.
