well that is not law so does not really matter. Makes for good inscription though.

well, that's not at all the point I was making but okay. I was trying to reference the ideology that our nation once represented, as one who grew up being told that America is a melting pot and that's a big part of what makes it beautiful.

Sounds great and I do not necessartly disagree but we still have laws we need to enforce. Instead we have presidents making their own proclamations every 4-8 years, running through the courts to see whats legal while congress sits on their hands because it is now a voter issue as they try to exploit the extremes of both sides.
We have record numbers of people coming across the border which IMO should be absolutely contained and could be if we really wanted to. We have a border, just like every other country, it should be enforced. in Nov '22 there was 206K encounters with border patrol, of which 145K were single adults, predominately male. this is NOT a bunch of families coming across or seeking asylum. Now most are being released under title 8 and will fall through the cracks until congress does something.
Yes we need migrant workers and yes we need to do something about people already here but the spicket should be turned off otherwise until it is resolved through congress. We should make a skill based system and take in the best, most educated first and work backwards from there.

all I did was post the inscription to the statue of liberty, it wasn't an invitation to argument. go waste your breath picking fights online elsewhere lol.

no fight, no argument. Just pointing out this is a complicated issue that has been moved to black and white/good vs bad in the political spectrum.
chill, its reddit
