Thread: We are a nation of immigrants, but no, Bill de Blasio, everyone is not welcome

Exactly, patbrunz. Well said.

I thought it would be interesting to note how our open border crowd loves to quote the following words which appear on the Statue of Liberty ... "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free ..."


For those unaware, Emma Lazarus, who wrote those words was a well-known socialist and the “poem” was suggested to be used to raise funds to build the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty.

Additionally, immigrants coming to America who passed the statute on their way to Ellis Island were not granted entry into the United States for a number of reasons. One reason for being rejected was the likelihood of becoming a ward of the state and a public burden, and on this ground they were refused entry!


What our open border crowd needs to explain is why they do not have a problem with American Citizens being made into tax slaves to support the economic needs of millions upon millions of foreigners who have entered our country illegally? And what about illegal aliens who work off the books, below the going wage, and do not pay taxes on their earned wages, which is how they compete for America’s domestic jobs? Does this not bother our open border crowd?

I get the distinct impression that people like Bill de Blasio, have more compassion for those who have entered our country illegally than they do for American Citizens who are suffering the devastating consequences of illegal immigration. And they have more compassion for them for a nefarious reason ___ creating a massive voting block dependent upon "free" government cheese.

Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. Margaret Thatcher

Emma Lazarus was not only a socialist, she was one of the founders of the Zionist Movement to create a Jewish State in Palestine.
