"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

There was a time that actually meant something- it happens to be on a bronze plaque on the base of The Statue Of Liberty.

(It's a verse from a poem written by Emma Lazarus- it's called "The New Collossus".)

Shall we have the plaque removed?
