The Statue of Liberty was not originally intended to invite “Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” to come to America.

Congressional troll Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost—and he is really bad at it—cannot stop talking about how he is the first Gen Z member of Congress.
Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) challenged his Republican colleagues to introduce a bill that removes the Statue of Liberty because of their stances on immigration at the southern border.
Frost, a first-term legislator, read part of the poem ‘The New Colossus,’ which was cast and mounted on to the lower level of the Statue of Liberty as a message to immigrants arriving at Ellis Island in the 1800s.
Frost said immigrants deserve better than what they are being offered.
Frost said, holding up a sheet of paper:
Don’t welcome them if you plan to reject them. If you keep pushing your bigoted H.R. 2 bill, then also pass this bill. I’ve taken the liberty of drafting it for you.
It removes the Statue of Liberty, our largest symbol that tells people to come here.
Further:
This is who you are, removing the fabric of America. So, I want to know which Republican, who supports and voted for H.R.2, will introduce this bill. If you’re gonna support H.R.2 and these bigoted measures, the least you can do is not be a damn liar.
This is sad on so many levels.
Rep. Frost is a college dropout who promised to finish his college degree while in Congress which is apparently a part-time job for him.
NOTE: The Statue of Liberty was a gift to America presented on July 4, 1884, by the French, in Paris. The gesture had nothing to do with encouraging immigrants. It represented the alliance between the two countries during the American Revolution, presented to recognize America as a champion of liberty and encourage the French to support the same ideals.
‘The New Colossus’ was written by Emma Lazarus to auction off to help raise funds for the Statue of Liberty.
Frost is a hypocrite for embracing her poem considering she was a Zionist.
[‘The New Colossus’] was not the official theme for the Statue. Well after her death, the poem was added as a plaque to the statue.
If there was a poem that inspired the Statue of Liberty, it was Stella from Victor Hugo, written in 1853 while Hugo was in exile on the Isle of Jersey (1851-1855). In part:
I am coming. Arise, virtue, courage, faith!
Thinkers, wits, climb to the tower, sentinels!
Eyelids open, light up eyes,
Earth, move the furrow, live, awake noise,
Get up, you who are sleeping! because the one who follows me,
The one who sends me ahead first,
It is the angel Liberty, this is the giant Light!
This sort of rhapsody over liberty was not unusual in certain circles.
It is Liberty for which the Statue of Liberty speaks.
It obviously informs our founding documents. And liberty is the thing that leftists hate.
If anyone wants to abolish liberty, it is Rep. Frost and his leftist movement.
Final thought: Long Live American Liberty.
God speed to Conservatism and to the Take Back of our Constitutional Republic.
