    How about This Rewrite? Things Must Chage in this country and rewriting things is one way they can change, for the better in Todays Language. Not that from 200 some years ago.
    Trump immigration official offers rewrite for Statue of Liberty poem Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, was asked by NPR whether the words of Emma Lazarus' “The New Colossus,” inscribed on a bronze tablet exhibited in the museum at the statue's base, remain "part of the American ethos."

    "They certainly are," Cuccinelli said. "Give me your tired and your poor — who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge."

    When you become an immigrant to the USA, one of the questions on the forms, is if you can support yourself and not become a burden.

    They conveniently have left that part out for generations now.

    Of course when most jump the fence illegally, they never see the form.

    Are sponsors still required? That was a great part of the immigration process. A mentor to guide you through the process of acclimating to a new culture. It worked, but I fear would be considered "racist" by many on the Left today.

    The poem associated with the statue of liberty says...

    "yearning to be free"... NOT "yearning for free stuff !!"
