What a crappy thing to say. My ancestors came here and did it the legal way. There are laws for a reason and it is time they been enforced.

The tablet in the statue’s left hand is supposed to represent law. The statue itself was inspired by the Union victory and the end of slavery in America. The association with immigration came from a poem used to raise funds for the pedestal.

Exactly. When immigrants came over in our nation’s early history, their entry was strictly regulated. Each immigrant was given a rigorous scrutiny for a list of standards. Those who failed were shipped back to their country of origin. We may have been a generous nation, but it was not generous stupidity. Why do we forget that!

Oh yes! We did have a wall. The wall was the great expanse of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. It certainly was a wall than no one could tunnel under or climb over. And hell, why did it take little me to think of that?

My ancestors came here legally as well. In fact, most ours did. I wasn’t until Liberals ean roughshod over the laws that have just ignored borders.
