"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore."
But, this week, a top U.S. immigration official jumped on the opportunity to take some creative liberties with that message, altering the words of Emma Lazarus's iconic poem. , a measure that will effectively see the definition of who can be considered a public charge—someone who relies on government assistance through public benefits—expanded, to the likely detriment of certain low-income immigrants.
If applicants are found to make use of such programs, it could be considered a"negative factor" by officials considering their green card or temporary visa applications.
I think beto's winning !!! The dumb candidate competition !!
Why is everything about race with beto?
Chinese Exclusion Act now the Brown People Exclusion Act.
I think he’s mixing up statue with statute. One is a form of art, the other is a law. We don’t legislate with art.
How can we get Trump? I know, let's say he is a Russian. I'm sure that work. What's next. I know let's say he is a racist. This time I know it work. What's next I know let's say a recession is coming. Just like we said when he was running for Prez. This will work
Cuccinelli said as much.
RICH white people. Filthy stinking rich white people who don't want any other people.
Beto is a tool so who cares? The more desperate he gets the more goofy things he says. Which is why people are tuning him out.
What’s a white person?
Beto O’Rourke didn’t say this. Ken Cuccinelli (sp?) said this.
Beto, like most Dems, thinks he can race card his way into the WH.
Beto thinks the Mona Lisa only applies to Fredo's people.
he flunked history first then went on to flunk life
Don't they realize when you call racist on literally everything noone starts to believe you anymore, it is laughable at this stage
'Whites only' does not apply to off whites even if their original Country wouldn't take them back!
Dear BetoORourke the Statue of Liberty doesnt apply to anyone ITS A POEM ON A STATUE THAT WAS A GIFT FROM FRANCE. Its not actual immigration law or policy yoy blithering dunderheaded imbeciles
None of this makes sense Beto......... Legal immigration is legal immigration......
I've really had it with this. I'm sick of idiot Democrats turning immigration into a race issue (like they do with EVERY issue). The truth is right here--
Trump needs to do ancestry DNA. Imagine if the results aren’t what he wants them to be?
when Democrats think an engraving on a statue that was a gift from france is law ROFL

Cuccinelli rewrites Statue of Liberty poem to make case for limiting immigrationThe acting director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services in a new interview revised the iconic poem on the Statue of Liberty's pedestal to suggest that only immigrants who can 'stand on their own two feet' are welcome in the United States. Since when haven’t immigrants stood on their own 2 feet? They work hard, taking jobs that others won’t, to build a better lives for themselves and their kids. And it has always been thus. This is what Oprah thinks of the tRump Administration and the Republican Party: Good! America does not need more WELFARE QUEENS & Babies 👶.
