So pathetic it defies logic.

You would think a nation that boasts the most generous LEGAL immigration policy would rest on those laurels.

1) Yes, they came here LEGALLY.
2) IT'S A FRIGGIN' POEM!
It's not policy. It's not law.

I'm sure you know what their immigration policy is, see where France is today! I can't believe SOME PEOPLE take that poem LITERALLY!

You are mistaken.

The poem is not on the book, nor was it written by the French.

It is a poem called "The New Colossus' written by an American, Emma Lazarus, in 1883 as part of a fund raising campaign to build the pedestal. It is displayed inside the pedestal.

and as poetry goes, it was pretty maudlin even then.

Well I guess they had to find some means for trying to replace the billions of dollars of tax revenue which vanished in a single year after they passed their misbegotten 'millionaires tax', don't they?

What a bunch of Einsteins, huh?

No wonder why UMD is expensive...

Maryland is plagued with illegal aliens. It's California of the east coast.
