This says it all. Now people can keep lying to themselves about how Trumps immigration policy is not racist, but lying to yourself is only a coping mechanism you are using to absolve yourselves from the fact you voted for and support a racist president and administration.

A top Trump administration official says the famous inscription on the Statue of Liberty, welcoming "huddled masses" of immigrants to American shores, was referring to "people coming from Europe" and that the nation is looking to receive migrants "who can stand on their own two feet."

The comments on Tuesday from Ken Cuccinelli, the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, came a day after the Trump administration announced it would seek to deny green cards to migrants who seek Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers or other forms of public assistance. The move, and Cuccinelli's defense, prompted an outcry from Democrats and immigration advocates who said the policy would favor wealthier immigrants and disadvantage those from poorer countries in Latin America and Africa.

"This administration finally admitted what we've known all along: They think the Statue of Liberty only applies to white people," tweeted former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, a Democratic presidential candidate.

Before the excuses come, understand that only whites were allowed to be citizens in some cases until the 1950's.

It is. Common sense would tell you that. Common sense would also tell you that it was a gift from a time and peoples that no longer exist.
AKA the poem is meaningless tripe. Our constitution and bill of rights dictate how we function as a society.

Now, let us discuss your inability to deal with reality.....

 

[Westender]

Absolutely. Times change, we need entry by what you have to offer. Dont come here planning to clean up construction sites with your big fat mamacita burrito and your 4 greasy tacos. That family will need at least $100,000 a year, you better have a positive net gain. We have enough pos.

 

[Ricky LIbtardo]

No one gives a shit about a poem. It's not a law. There's nothing in the Constitution.

What's in the Constitution is the President's authority to protect our borders from the shaggy hordes.

And when the Latino invasion raises their flags over the White House you can learn to speak Spanish.

Believe me, you'll hate it.

The op thinks we still need people to build roads or skyscrapers.

There is no limit to their stupidity

So sad. I can not understand how people so ignorant get this much power.

Why wouldn't it be about Europeans ? That's where immigration to the US was coming from in the 1880's, when the statue was erected here.

Immigration wasn't opened up to the third world until 1965, and was a big mistake.

The Trump administration represents hateful rightwing bigots and racists well.

Justify that.

 

[WillowTree]

It was a gift from the French! Europeans! Right?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Justify that.

There are not enough mind altering drugs to connect the dots in the mind of a far leftist

So you're saying that we need more slaves to do the work you won't do because you refuse to pay the wage the job rates while you sip on your champaign and eat hors d'oeuvres.

Article.

Are you awake ?

 

[IM2]

Cuccinelli made the comment and was relating the poem to the current situation. So these excuses are all massive fails. The laws excluded non whites from immigrating here for more than a century.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Refuse from Europe.

Fucking Eurotrash.

That poet was prophetic as hell.

Keep them the fuck out of the USA.

And they should be now too, or at least those from non-white countries (aka shitholes)

A few exception could be made (ON MERIT) - those bringing large amounts of capital, to open businesses and create jobs (FOR AMERICANS). and those bringing something of value to America, (great musicians, scientists, etc )

 

[lennypartiv]

Of course the poem on the Statue of Liberty is meant for Europeans. When we were getting our immigrants from Europe, America was top dog.

 

[LilOlLady]

The statue of liberty was meaningful in the 18th century but do not apply today because we are no longer into nation-building but nation survival. If we do not control immigration we will look like China with all the problem of China's overpopulation. Our natural resources are being depleted and import 70% of our food and it will destroy us environmentally, economically and socially leading to just another shithole country.
