It also doesnt mean that the poor huddles masses get to be supported by our welfare state
When that poem was written and then added to the Statue of Liberty, Their was no social safety net. Immigrants who came her had to make it on their own.

And they all came through Ellis Island
They didn't come here expecting thousands in free shite at the expense of American taxpayers.
They didn't come here without being fully documented.
They didn't come here, commit crimes only to be turned loose on the population via Democrat Judges.
Anyone who compares whats' going on at the Southern border to any facet of immigration in the past is an idiot.

The poem was not part of the statue's dedication. It was written by Jewish communist Emma Lazarus in the 1920's
1883, added to the Statue in 1903
But everything else is pretty accurate.

And why would anyone want to invite the poor or wretched refuse to their country?
For leftists, it is simply a means to replace a white population. They get intoxicated on their own white guilt. It’s the same white guilt you see in all white countries except some in Eastern Europe who remember the horrors of communism.

The people of every country came from somewhere. Does that mean every country is obligated to turn itself into the world’s homeless shelter?

Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (I think) had a good line about this: it's a statue, not a statute.

You are damn right they were. They came through Ellis Island with their children in tow. They left Ellis Island with the opportunity to pursue the American dream. They did not receive a fricking gift bag from the government.
They went on to farm the land, to survive the great depression. They fed the allied soldiers in ww2.
They loved this country and assimilated into the fabric and culture of society. They came to take part, not take over.
I'm proud of them, their contributions and legacy.
You un American frick stick

Nah bruh, we need millions of poor young adult males.

I’ve long said that if the cost of that statue is open borders, then we should crate it up and send it back to France.

Poems make terrible policy. Save it for the Constitution and signed legislation.

Who knows. I get worried if some of my posts don't get at least 6, because that means one of my serial downvoters may be out sick.

Whats crazy to me is we could be taking the smartest and brightest from around the world and really doing great things. Instead…..
Trump actually advocated this many years ago. Why the heck do we take all these foreign students, then make it a pain in the arse if they want to stay. We should make them citizens the day they graduate and hope they stay and have kids......instead of taking our/their degree home and competing with us in business.

I’ve been saying for years that they should ship that damn statue back to France and tell them to shove it up their arse

Those poor immigrants become business owners whose children become engineers and doctors.
