Trump official revises Statue of Liberty poem to defend migrant rule change [View all]
I know this isn't current news, but it's shocking nonetheless.
I was curious to know if the Felon had plans to revise our Statue of Liberty in any fashion.
Sure enough, in 2019:
A top US immigration official has revised a quote inscribed on the Statue of Liberty in defence of a new policy that denies food aid to legal migrants.
The head of Citizenship and Immigration Services tweaked the passage: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free".
The official added the words "who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge".
