What does it say on the statue of liberty? I believe it says, give me your poor, your tired, and hungry.

Liberty is not free, never has been. It comes with sacrifice and regulation. Only then can a stanger from a foreign land become a citizen of our republic. BTW; Fox can kiss my ASS!

The poor, the tired, the hungry can enter the U.S. LEGALLY. In accordance with our immigration laws.

They are welcome if they want to obey our laws. Entering illegally is NOT obeying our laws!

I don't think Emma Lazarus' poem rises to the level

Fine, they're yours. Knock yerself out.

Where would you like them delivered?

Oh, and please take measures to ensure that they stay on your property, OK?

PS: I must have slept through the part of the Constitutional Convention when they decided that a rhyme written by a socialist, attached to a statue, would have the same force of law as the Constitution of the United States of America.

Yeah, but from Mexico? They are floating on a sea of oil down there. No excuse for poverty down there except for the corruption of the current government.
