Political Factoid

"Give me your tired, your poor, your
huddled masses yearning to breathe
free."
  -- Emma Lazarus' sonnet, New Colossus
Most Americans believe that
the words on the Statue of
Liberty apply only to selected
groups of people.
  • Today we prefer wealthy, well-educated
    people - (to buy expensive homes
    and work for high-tech companies).
     
  • We still prefer English speaking people,
    preferably from Western Europe.
     
  • We are willing to accept
    people willing to work for low pay
    at back-breaking jobs no existing
    Americans want, but we are hesitant
    to give them voting rights.
     
  • We give preference to
    white Christians.
