Once upon a time ago, it welcomed many people into this country, that wanted to come here to be Americans, and were willing to sacrifice everything to do that, and come here legally.

All my grandparents, paternal and maternal came here through Ellis Island, and were proud to be American, and I have nothing but pride in the way they came here and went through all the legal channels to gain the coveted American citizenship.

What does the statue mean today?  Nothing! We should pack it up and send it back to France!

Surprising coming from one that is French-Canadian eh? 

That statue today calls out to every illegal from ALL nationalitys to sneak into this country, and get benefits many American born citizens cannot get.

Including, but not limited to:

Free health care.

Welfare.

Food Stamps.

They can even get voting rights!

Does this statue really represent America anymore?

This statue has lost all meaning.

Am I wrong on this?

I am sure yellow dog will jump on this, but I really don't care to hear from him on this. I already know his opinion.

I want honest opinions from everyone on the blog here!

Why is the left wing, pinko commie the only one with any patriotic spirit here?

Does that mean that Obama is the next great hope (flag pin proudly worn)?

Well it certainly isn't holding up to what it's message intended.

And if BhussienO gets elected, it will be time to drop it. At that point the Georgia Guidestones will replace it as a national monument.

The REST of us will continue to be Patriotic to OUR country instead..

I don't think the Statue of Liberty, is at fault here. It is the people in charge of our Boarder Patrol Officers, not being allowed to do their jobs without having a fear of being put in prison. Did any one hear the report about Boarder Patrol Officers being killed? Someone needs to tell the people in charge, to let Boarder Patrol Officers shoot to kill. Our Politicians need to stop giving Illegals any rights to United State's Medicaid and Welfare.

Exactly right Gammies and I think,, and AGIAN,, I THINK,, that THAT is essentially what DF is getting at.. WITHOUT the Noble concept of National Sovereignty,, it's INVIOLATE Necessity and it's REVERED Stature with regard to LEGAL Immigration as OPPOSED to ILLEGAL Invasion,, the Statue of Liberty,, SO long an ICON of welcome for LEGAL Immigrants from around the world,, becomes NOTHING more then a WORTHLESS piece of Copper..


I have SEEN critics of HIS contention refer to the CONSTITUTION as TOILET PAPER for NO more then their IMAGINARY offenses and claims..

But SOMEHOW or other,,WE'RE supposed to CONDEMN DF as Unamerican while PRAISING them for their Imaginary Patriotism..

Ditto again, gammies,
No OTHER country in the world allows illegal invaders to over run her boarders.
America, actually all countries, other than Egypt, the cradle of civilization, began with immigration.
However, somewhere along the way, countries became more sophisticated, provided education, common defense, laws, collected taxes, and found that they had to control immigration.
I still do not understand why both parties refuse to get rid of illegal invaders.
It would not cost tax money.
Just heavily fine anyone who is caught hiring illegals.
That is you deportation fund right there!

I wouldn't say DF is Anti-American, but he is placing blame of illegals bringing this country down, on an inanimate object. I could care less about a piece of copper. I could have cared less if they never had spent money on it, to make it look pretty. For all I care, they can sell the copper, and feed some people living in homeless shelters. As long as they're U.S. citizens. The Statue of Liberty still represents "Legal Immigrants".

Gammies,,I doubt I EVER saw you call ANYBODY anything and that implication,, on MY part,, was unintentional..

There's no use in blamming an Inatimate object for conditions that WE ourselves ALLOW to exist..

Lady Liberty has not changed, the government has. I think we should shroud her in black from head to toe until the Washington elites get on the ball and do what we demanded they do last year.
We want legal immigrants here. Increase the H-1B and H-2B visas, close down the borders, start with deportation of every single illegal that committed crimes while here then you can work on the rest, cut off the welfare until they all go back and apply to be citizens the legal way. Start increasing fines on businesses that continually hire them.
The elite scream and holler and call us racists and xenophobic if we demand our government stop illegal immigration, yet they are not screaming about the conditions most of these illegals live with. We have allowed a slave labor force to continue and life for slaves ain't that great (read your history books). Most (not all) live in substandard housing, drive unsafe cars, are always hiding from the law etc. Is this the life that our Lady Liberty has stood for? When the nation gets back to enforcing the laws of the land..the we can take the shroud off of her and let her beacon shine.

I am sad, my comment concerning this blog and trying to explain your meaning (at least as I understood it) to Candy was deleted. I think you are correct, It is a shame that what she used to symbolize is no longer there. Not on paper or our HEARTS. (notice I said OUR). WE as a nation are no longer patriots, sure we fly our little flags made in china when someone attacks us but what about all the other days? Back to Lady Liberty, One thing that changed since her coming to us, In the beginning They were all illegal immigrants, they didnt go through immigration until they got here. Now they must go through immigration before they come and might be turned down for one reason or another. Is this what they mean by amnesty? Bring it back like before?

EVERYTHING you said Loo was RIGHT on but I would add to,

"We have allowed a slave labor force to continue and life for slaves ain't that great"

ONE other thought..They aren't concerned with the plight of slaves..They're ONLY concerned with their VOTES..

THIS is why there's EVERY bit as STRONG a Movement to ELIMINATE all possible meams for voter verification..

We have ALREADY had AMERICAN elections in THIS country decided by FOREIGNERS..

Well, I deleted a comment here from yellowdog. Here came here at 2:57 AM to post a comment that was nothing but PURE insult, trying to turn this into a Tampa-type ragfest.

I knew when I did it he would post a hate blog about me, he is famous for that. I was right. He did.

I have never deleted a comment for simple disagreement, in fact I have only deleted one comment in the past for the same exact reason.
I felt bad about it, but did it anyway.

In this case, it felt good! Really good.

Call me a Nazi. Post your hate blogs. I don't care.

But you will not turn ANY blog of mine into a Tampa ragfest.

You want to make a point, disagree, fine. You are welcome to comment. Stick to topic, lose the insults. Other than that, you are not welcome!
