纽约市长Michael Bloomberg于2010年1月1日发布就职演说，开始他就任纽约市长的第三个任期，他也是纽约第108届市长。他做出保证，在他第三个任期期间，要推进一个更加开放的移民政策。

　　以下为部分就职演说翻译：

　　“四年前的今天，我站在你们面前，向你们承诺政府会处理严重影响城市社区的遗留问题。怀疑者说：‘那是全国性问题，仅凭一个市长又能做些什么？’”

　　“但是从那时起，我们就建立了一个500名市长的两党联盟。现在，我们的视线转到将深深影响纽约人的另一全国性事件：移民改革。”

　　“全国的领导人一起，我们集合两党联盟支持奥巴马总统号召的全面移民改革。该改革也会荣耀美国历史，支持我们的价值观，同时也推动美国经济发展。”

　　“地球上没有哪个城市，不应该有城市把这些原则凌驾于城市移民者之上，因为地球上没有哪个城市能和纽约市在移民方面相比，无论是在移民劳工的薪酬、移民思想的更新或是在移民文化的复兴上，纽约市都走在世界前列。”

　　“当我今天在这里聆听你们这些出色学生的讲话时，我比任何时候都更强烈的感到我们城市的未来，我们国家的未来，都全靠像他们一样的新来人，全靠我们是否维护坚持了长达一个世纪理想，那就是在我们港湾里点燃自由之灯，这盏灯也继续鼓舞全世界！”
　
　　“移民们的努力让纽约成为世界机遇和企业界的中心，现在我们要让纽约市政府成为支持和鼓励企业家的一个全球领袖。”

MAYOR BLOOMBERG DELIVERS 2010 INAUGURAL ADDRESS AS HE BEGINS THIRD TERM AS 108TH MAYOR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK

"Four years ago on this day, I stood before you and pledged that we would wage a new campaign against an old problem that takes a terrible toll on our communities: illegal guns. The skeptics said: 'That's a national problem. What can one mayor do about it?'

"But since then, we have built a bi-partisan coalition of 500 mayors who have won victories in City Halls, State Houses, and yes - even Congress. Now, we'll set our sights on another national issue that affects New Yorkers in profoundly personal ways: immigration reform."

"With leaders from across the country, we will assemble a bi-partisan coalition to support President Obama's call for comprehensive immigration reform that honors our history, upholds our values, and promotes our economy.”

"No city on Earth - no city - should hold these principles higher aloft than this city of immigrants, because no city on earth has been more rewarded by immigrant labor, more renewed by immigrant ideas, more revitalized by immigrant culture, than the City of New York."

"And when I listen to the outstanding students we've had here today from the Newcomers School, I feel more strongly than ever that the future of our city, and our country, depends on newcomers like them, and on whether we honor the ideals that have lit the lamp of liberty in our harbor for more than a century, and that continue to inspire the world!

"Immigrants helped make New York City the world capital of opportunity and entrepreneurism, and now we will make City government a global leader in supporting and encouraging entrepreneurs."
