Statue of Liberty

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "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!"

Emma Lazarus wrote the poem for the Statue of Liberty.This poem really represents what the Statue of Liberty stands for,which is freedom in the U.S.The U.S doesn't really let anybody come without all kinds of paper work and a green card.Which I think is wrong because the U.S is building walls so imagrants can't get in the U.S.People just want to be free and live a better life but the U.S blocks them out.The Statue of Liberty says "Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me" but the United States keeps all illegal imagrants out.When illegal imagrants do get in without their papers, if they get caught they get sent back to were they came from.
