"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..."

Do those words mean absolutely nothing to this administration. It seems not. They should just push the Statue of Liberty into the Atlantic Ocean or, at the very least, give it back to France.

That wretched conman in the White House has destroyed everything this country once stood for. I am so ashamed of him and the people who support him.

We are a nation of immigrants! Our motto is E Pluribus Unum - out of many, one. Immigrants have enriched this country, built this country and we're all the better for it. They bring their culture and their food and their customs and their beliefs. We are the great melting pot. That's what makes this country great, not MAGA, not DJT, not Republicans. Not hate.

Will we ever get that greatness back? Can all this damage ever be undone? I truly hope so, for all our sakes.

We have fallen so far and as you said I hope we can recover and destroy whatever is left of his shenanigans

I don’t know why it ended up being "be." A hasty typo on my part. I have edited the post.

Thank you, Gore1FL.
