Sure. we have problems in our country dealing with our borders. But let us not couch that in our own hypocrisy. What happened to the time when immigration was something that we cared about and that was a proud symbol of America. when we stuck a copper figure out in the New York Harbor that stands there today with a great torch in her right hand. and in her left hand she clings the Declaration of Independence close to her breast. On her head is a crown of spikes. and on her feet are broken shackles that symbolize freedom from tyranny. and. as my plane flew over her the other day. I could still hear her cry out through those silent and copper lips. "Send your tired. your poor. your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore." she said. "Send these. the hopeless. tempesttost to me. for I lift my lamp beside the golden door." But that was long ago. and we have evolved as a species and as a Nation. so immigration is not something that is beautiful anymore. We make it legal and illegal. We make it to fit our own petty desires.
