...sounds pretty MAGA to me.
Really?
I'd prefer we take down her damn poem and build a wall.

Wow. Not only was she for open borders, she was a Neocon.
You can have your socialist.
Who cares? Is a better question.
One must keep in mind that the poem was not on Lady Liberty when installed in the harbor. The plaque was added many years later by the leftist governor of NY.
It may have been a reasonable sentiment at that time but times have changed. The people admitted to the USA at those times did not carry satchel nukes and have ‘I hate the USA’ tattooed on their chest. They were looking for a hand up, not a hand out. At that time most immigrants came with their families unlike the current invasion of mostly military-aged males, an army of ignorant, diseased human detritus that offer our society nothing but dependency and their DNA.
A nation that cannot or will not control immigration is lost.
Hide your bunnies.
Ugly socialist dyke. Nothing MAGA. Next.
Absolutely give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, but only if they yearn to be free.
If they yearn to sell drugs and send money back to their home country, to live off the teat of government, and form roaming gangs of thugs, no thank you.
No poem is wrong more than give us your poor…
All majority white countries are being destroyed by low IQ, diseased immigrants.
Fix your own country.
The full name of the statue is "Liberty Enlightening the World". We are meant to serve as an example of freedom. Instead we are sinking into a morass of taxes, regulations, corruption and government ordered silencing of opinions and even facts which go against the official narrative. We are moving fron shining example for the world to a dark warning.
Annie Oakley
Disagree on both counts, but the 19th century was a very different era. What may be dangerous now was possible and desirable when we had a continent to populate.
I Rate Emma Lazarus 8 or 9 Out Of Ten As A Poet And 7 Out Of Ten As A Babe. Who Agrees?

Bad poet and butt ugly woman.
Eh... I guess id let her ride me after at least a 6pk.
Got a bit of a honker though...
Longfellow said he liked the poem better than the statue.
Emma Lazarus was a great American poet.
If I absolutely have to be polite and answer the questions you pose with your article, I would rate the few lines of poetry OK. Hers is certainly better than mine by a considerable margin. Since I’m not a connoisseur of poetry, my opinion should be worthless. As to her beauty, I think she is rather plain. Her chin and jaw lines are somewhat masculine. I do think her eyes are attractive and show intelligence. On the other hand, women didn’t dress in those days to look pretty. They generally dressed so that their figure was not obvious.
Ah, not.
That is just gross. Hotness is a postmodern concept that must never be applied to our centuries past antecedents. Dolley Madison was charming by all accounts but don't call her hot.
Sarah Bernhardt might be the first woman who ushered in the thought of hotness, but they didn't know that at the time. I still wouldn't give her the award.
