America before Trump:
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, from The New Colossus [poem appearing on a plaque on the Statue of Liberty]
America after Trump:
“Why do we want these people from all these shithole countries here? We should have more people from places like Norway.”
D.J. Trump, in a meeting about protecting migrants from Haiti, El Salvador and Africa, January 11, 2018
Give me your white, your wealthy,
Your greedy masses yearning for more stuff,
Keep the wretched refuse, please
Send me no black, brown, Muslim or Jew
Norwegians! For you I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Poem that could replace Emma Lazarus if Trump is reelected
