The New Colossus

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!"
Emma Lazarus


The Statue of Liberty I say is a waste of talent for the people who made it because what I think it means, which is we should all be united and work together but that not what most people think it's for. Some think its for power to the United States and for all those to bow down but I dont think that's what its for or labeled as.

As far as the statue of liberty dealing with immigration, really what does it have to do with it? It is a statue that can't talk or move or do anything about immigration.
