We have a stronger and richer nation because of the Sikhs who have become Americans. Ms. Kaur, I'm glad to be corrected and that Sikhs have found a welcome place here.

Almost. Not quite. Sikhi is an egalitarian religion. Not just the Sikh males, but also us women. In fact, from the moment we - both men and women - are initiated in the the Khalsa, we are required to carry our kirpan - what you would call a sword or dagger - at all times. (OK, some compromise on this now inorder to fly on commercial planes.) But it is to be used only in self-defence or to fight injustice. Still Sikhs are good friends, but I - personally - wouldn't want us as adversaries. The Senator most certainly owes the Sikh community an explanation and an apology. Just my opinion. Hahahahahahaha!!!
