This powerful insight into the real and true meaning of the Statue of Liberty and the poem emblazoned on its pedestal gives the lie to the border busters of the democrat party. We do not seek the world’s trash but its heroic men and women yearning to be free to build lives of consequence.
The true meaning of the poem is that the Communist movement in the US was already attacking the foundations of the nation well before the Cold War.
Immigration to the US wasn’t about the tired, poor and hungry. It was about the ambitious pioneering new lands, and about and those who were willing to abandon everything of the Old World in order to enjoy freedom.
The way the poem is written you’d think the US was created to be a soup kitchen for the world’s homeless.
