is to criticize his successors, i think that undermines the office of president. i think that institution of presidency is more important than the occupant of the office, those of us who have been honored to occupy the office have a duty to strengthen it. presidents get criticized a lot, it is unseemly to be one of those voice there are issues that i care about, a friend of ours, said your voice needs to be a part of the immigration discussion, i said i don't want to get into a political debate, he said paint corporates of immigrant -- portraits of immigrants, i thought that is interesting, i did. >> transition from president to artist surprised many, including his wife laura. >> if someone said one day you

in many, many cases, they bring a desire for a better life, that america represents, a a lot of them left opressive governments, they were poor and wanted a chance to succeed in a economy that allows everyone to be involved in it. >> some people depict famous, like dirk nowitzki and annika sorenstein, and business leaders like hamdi ulukaya hamdi ulukaya, and public service like madeleine albright and henry kissinger. >> i want to ask but henry kissinger, he is a fascinating man a friend of yours. >> he came to oval office, on a regular bases to talk about issues. i put henry kissinger in there, he is a well-known name, hopefully we get people to pay attention to the exhibit and the book. but, what people don't know is he escaped nazi germany, he came

to united states, he said he felt most welcome to america in an army unit from midwest of the the country. dana: a synergy between henry kissinger and madeleine albright. albright. >> she is a friend, she too escaped nazism. they come to united states. >> most immigrant featured are not household names. >> one of first immigrants that i knew paulo rendon. helped my family and flora from france. >> you see this. >> i want look, they see the medal of honor he is from

france, getting a medal of honor wearing a u.s. uniform there are a lot of immigrants who have worn the uniform, people like flo, willing to sacrifice for the country where he was not born, my view is it they are willing to fight for u.s. they should become citizens. >> this opinion is not a new one. >> i will support and defend the constitution and laws of the united states much america, so help me god. >> the ceremony for wounded warriors in 2006, was one of most moving things i have been a part of,. >> you and i used to go to walter reed together a lot. it was moving. >> 33,000 people who were not born here. serve in our military.

united states, there should be no questions asked. dana: changing policies and attitude by the way of a pain painting brush. >> my concern is that immigration debate got so host hostile that americans were not able to focus on positive aspects, at this stage. it is hard for people to separate the politics from the contribution, this book, is an attempt to change the tone of the debate. hopefully get people to be more thoughtful about how they think about immigration. >> immigrants are just what they have always been, people willing to risk everything for the dream of freedom, and america remains what she has always been, the great hope on the horizon.
