Lin-Manuel Miranda stands with immigrants in Penn graduation speech | MSNBC

“Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda reminded graduates of the contribution of immigrants throughout history in his speech at the University of Pennsylvania commencement Monday.
“In a year when politicians traffic it in anti-immigrant rhetoric, there is also a Broadway musical reminding us that a broke, orphan immigrant from the West Indies built our financial system,” Miranda said. “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.”
After Miranda defended immigration in the U.S., students and Penn President Amy Gutmann rose and gave a standing ovation."
