Should a Poem on a 150 year old statue be the basis for our Modern Immigration Policy?
If the Dems want that, we can give it to them, just get rid of all welfare. When the “wretched refuse” came here they either worked for it or died of starvation. Those who came to America did so knowing that there were no handouts.
“Should a Poem on a 150 year old statue be the basis for our Modern Immigration Policy?”
Since the illiberal left wants to destroy even older institutions like the electoral college and documents like the Constitution it makes a certain sense for them to base policy on a poem they choose to misrepresent.
They treat the poem on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty the same way they treat In Flanders Fields. By refusing to recite the final part of Flanders they turn it into an anti-war poem when it is anything but.
“Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw the torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields.”
