Trump official: Statue of Liberty's poem is about Europeans

[LilOlLady]

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.

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 )

Yes, "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country" that was 60 years ago and apply more so today.

Trump official: Statue of Liberty's poem is about Europeans

August 14, 2019

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.

Trump official: Statue of Liberty's poem is about Europeans

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

Liberty Enlightening the World is the actual name of the statue
She is standing guard over our shores

The poem was not part of her origins
nor has nothing to do with her significance

the Statue of Liberty has become a symbol of the possibilities of immigration immigration, but Americans at the dedication ceremony weren’t much concerned with welcoming the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and neither were her creators.

The idea for the statue came out of an 1865 dinner party near the palace of Versailles. The guests, mostly intellectuals and artists, weren’t fond of the current French government, a repressive regime headed by Emperor Napoleon III. They wanted to find some way to celebrate the liberal values important to them, values like individual rights and freedom of expression.

Those principles weren’t doing that well in France, but they did seem to be flourishing in the United States, which had just abolished slavery. And so, the dinner guests dreamed up a grand gesture that would help connect France to the American story of expanding freedoms, a statue of liberty lifting a torch and crushing a broken chain beneath her feet. It would be a gift from French citizens to the US, representing Franco-American friendship, the expansion of liberties in both countries, and the hope for world peace. But one thing it wouldn’t represent was immigration, says Peter Skerry, a political scientist at Boston College.“The notion of the United States as a refuge or a goal for migrants wasn’t part of what the French liberals had in mind at all.”

The Trump administration represents hateful rightwing bigots and racists well.

Justify that.

he cant hes even less articulate than the racist IM2 !!but at least hes honest about the fact that he hates whites ...IM2 spends enormous time and effort eplaining why his not racist after he posts racist views that he has !

 

[yidnar]

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.

why do you give a shit about the color of the immigrants coming in today ???and for that matter why do you care about the color of immigrants 100 yrs ago ?

it doesnt matter ... hes talking about immigrants and the color of their skin!! his ancestors attacked and slaughtered weaker tribes and enslaved them !! the point is he claims whites are evil !! all whites !! he does it over and over !!my mother is white,my sister is white ,my grandmother is white !! they are not evil !! they dont owe anyone anything because of the color of their skin !and yes i am well aware of what he is talking about and yes indians were done wrong i read the earlier posts and replies ... but his main goal is to paint this country and whites as evil .

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

The poem did not come with the Statue.

Yes, "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country" that was 60 years ago and apply more so today.

And it applies even more so to foreigners wanting to come here. Absolutely.

And we should be asking them what can THEY do for us.

FYI...In those early years, there was no welfare system in the country for people to use as they are coming and using now. Maybe soup lines but not until 1935, a national welfare system was established and was not widely used and known. Those coming through Ellis Island had to be self-sufficient are they were not admitted into the country.

What’s the problem?

The problems on the border are not Trump's immigration policies, he is just trying to enforce the immigration laws we already have that none before him has done and none want to do in the future. They rather change the laws instead of enforcing them. Detention camps, separating of families, deaths on the border and deportations was happening long before Trumps was in office.

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 made blacks full U.S. citizens (and this repealed the Dred Scott decision). In 1868, the 14th amendment granted full U.S. citizenship to African-Americans. The 15th amendment, ratified in 1870, extended the right to vote to black males.
The Naturalization Act of 1798 increased the period necessary for immigrants to become naturalized citizens in the United States from 5 to 14 years. In 1855, birthright citizenship was extended to children with citizen fathers and noncitizen mothers.
