Echoing a line from his hit Broadway musical "Hamilton," Lin-Manuel Miranda on Monday condemned presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's nativist ideology, reminding the graduating class of the University of Pennsylvania of the stories and contributions of immigrants to America.
"In a year when politicians traffic in anti-immigrant rhetoric," he said, "there is also a Broadway musical reminding us that a broke, orphan immigrant from the West Indies built our financial system, a story that reminds us that since the beginning of the great, unfinished symphony that is our American experiment, time and time again, immigrants get the job done."
