They probably dont even when that poem was put on the statue or who gave us the the statue or when it was given to us.

The 🗽 is not a symbol of Immigration. I ❤ how both my generation, Millennials, & Generation Z know nothing about our nation's history in a way. They still think the 'primary' reason of the Civil War was over Slavery & that gives them the right to tear down Confederate statues

While Robert Kraft got an illegal handjob from a human trafficked slave and gets a plea deal for nothing. Murica

Her protest was a community service. And those hours should count.

Wall will stop it. Border needs order.

I’d like to know why she has been charged that way. Is it casued by her climbing or advocacy? Connecting her sentence with unrelated cause is misleading people irresponsibly.

Good.

TRUMP DOES NOT ORDER THE SEPARATION OF FAMILIES. THE BORDER PATROL CAN NOT HAVE GROUPS OF FAMILIES IN DETENTION. THESE FAMILIES SHOULD NOT HAVE JAMMED THE BORDER. IT IS ILLEGAL!

What ever happened to Insane Asylums?

Public nuisance .

How about deportation? That’s an option.

Clearly a nutcase. If you can't obey laws, maybe consider going back to your homeland.

And Robert Kraft gets off scott free! This is America.
