"Give me your tired, your poor,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."


Nah, send 'em to some banana republic run by a man we detest......

When that was written the US was able and willing to do that...we are now
overburdened by the world's poor and disewased...and I am not speaking of
Mexicans or Canadians who share the American heritage. Why should the US
remain the gatekeeper for a world that no longer respects us? I think a
drop cloth should be placed over that placard until such a time as people
realize that being a citizen of the US means much more than fleeing your
own set of tyranny in your own country...too many come here rather than
fix their problems at home. We have become "The Great scape". BTW, isn't
there a lot of room left in the NW Territory? I know 101 Haitians that
could help out the population there.


Diseased? Who are you talking about? Sure seems like a bad attitude to me.
While we certainly have problems, I don't think we can right-off a whole
people or country.
