Words on Statue of Liberty. Old French version or 'read between the lines' modern one. Which one do you like?

Question

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!

Modern version:
Give me your tired, your poor,
(Sorry, that was a typing error. Only the rich and white allowed here.)

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
(Sorry, another typo. Sheriff Arpiao - the Poster boy of Fox News - will throw you in prison, but you can breathe freely in there)

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
(Sorry, another one. Who wrote this cr*p? What it means is that you are trash, and we have plenty!)

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
(ANOTHER ONE! What we meant was that we were going to toss the homeless out into the tempest)

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Sorry again. Lamp oil is too expensive. Damn Arabs!
So as you can see, the above is just a publicity stunt to make us feel good. F** off!

Answer 4

Your point being??????

If this is another dig at the illegal thing, the Statue of Liberty never said anything about coming into this country without going through the proper channels, either.

Besides, didn't France give us that thing??????

Answer 5

Uh...actually we do accept foreigners, even the illegal ones. TOO many are sneaking in. They must all know the words on the statue. Funny thing is, none of them pass the statue to get in.
