Mayor Bloomberg got a little choked up as he congratulated some new Americans.
Bloomberg, who delivered the keynote address after about 150 people took the oath of allegiance at the New York Historical Society, got to the end of his speech when the words caught in his throat as he said "Today you are Americans."
