Pritzker: My own family owes everything to this country accepting a young refugee named Nicholas Pritzker

My family owes everything to America's acceptance of a refugee named Nicholas Pritzker on its shores over a century ago.

My story, however, is not unique â€” our state and nation have been strengthened by people from across the globe seeking freedom, opportunity, and refuge here.

I'm a Texan, so I wouldn't know. (Although my memories of Ann Richards sustain me.)
