Trump needs to visit the Statue of Liberty
STATUE OF LIBERTY
āGive me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free/The wretched refuse of your teeming shore/Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me/I lift my lamp beside the golden door!ā
"The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World" was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the United States and is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was designated as a National Monument in 1924. Employees of the National Park Service have been caring for the colossal copper statue since 1933.
In 1892, the U.S. government opened a federal immigration station on Ellis Island, located near Bedloeās Island in Upper New York Bay. Between 1892 and 1954, some 12 million immigrants were processed on Ellis Island before receiving permission to enter the United States. From 1900-14, during the peak years of its operation, some 5,000 to 10,000 people passed through every day.
You need to read our Constitution.
NONE of those coming through Ellis Island (all my grandparents shortly after the turn of the last century) were here illegally.
A sonnet, the result of a contest inscribed on the Statue of Liberty does not make law.
We have a right and a legal obligation to defend our borders.
Is that true or false?
