These words opened the longest paragraph in the Pelosi remarks at 2019 California Democratic Party state convention.
As with most things I fall somewhat in the middle on this one, and I do not completely accept the case that is being made.
The argument is that we / our ancestors came to this continent and therefore we are hypocrites if we say others can't.
A slightly unfair counter example would be when a room with a fire regulation occupancy limit of 50 reached 70 (I was in that situation) and the meeting had to be brought to a close, for everyone.
If someone had kept count then would it have been fairer to stop everyone after 50 from entering or would it have been fairer to do as was done, once occupancy exceeded the limit to end the meeting and all leave?
