First, there is no legal way you can deny immigration to only one group of people, it has been tried in the past and was struck down.
This is so counterintuitive that I would just love to see more.
The US cannot, in your opinion/spin, chose who it wants to let int the country?
The original:
quote:
The New Colossus
By Emma Lazarus, 1883
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!"
The truckinslave section revision:
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor (except Muslims and Arabs),
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free (except Muslims and Arabs),
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore (except Muslims and Arabs).
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, (except Muslims and Arabs)
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Please note that truckinslave retains the right to exclude others in the future.
