The Statue of Liberty has a poem on a plaque that's actually really pretty and here is a snippet of it that I think our nation has lost sight of.
"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!"
Let's be that nation that is loving of everyone and that can provide refuge to people regardless of race, language, or culture. Let's ensure liberty for everyone, not just the privileged whites. Let's not let xenophobia rule us, rather, let us strive for the love, freedom, and unity that Christ calls us to.
