The New Colossus
by Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

I beg to disagree. I think it's overdue.

Why do some people want to make an issue where there is none? Rhetorical question.

Hmmmm. What is the process to get a petition published at petitiononlene.com? Looks like maybe Cartman is around there.

"I come from India bringing the science of poop transplants, and this is the welcome I get?!"

From a "doctor" on line 73.
