Melt down the Statue of liberty

William A Schaeffer
We should melt down the Statue of Liberty and sell it for scrap metal. We can use the money to build an immigration prison on Ellis Island. Nobody in the USA wants the "tired and hungry"... The Statue of Liberty is a lie and a deceit.

William A Schaeffer thats also a peom and not a policy, you dumb shit.

John Bock that poem purports to be the sentiment of the heart and spirit of the statue herself. Since the statue is supposed to be a symbol of the spirit of the nation, then the poem is MUCH MORE than policy. It represents the spirit of the American people themselves. At one time Americans were proud that the USA represented a sanctuary for the "poor and dispossed" of the world, but today that apparently is not the case. Your rude comment itself would be a good example. Since we no longer believe in helping the miserable outcasts of the world, let's not pretend -- let's not invite people we do not want here in the first place. Let us destroy the poem that is no longer relevant. Let us destroy the statue that no longer means anything and let's see if we can salvage something in the process by selling it for scrap metal. Additionally, if we want to build a wall and close off the boarder, then we certainly will need more immigration prisons to help expedite the process. Since Ellis island won't have any good use without an irrelevant statue, let's build a prison there.
