"In Spanish, he said "Especially all of the Latinos and Latinas in the world here in the United States who have worked to open doors. It's more than a win for myself, it's a win for all of us. Our footprints and our contribution in this country, no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it." He then said, in English, "If you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.""
