What does it say at the Statue of Liberty, " Bring me your poor and???

Question

At Ellis Island, there is a saying that reads, "Bring me your poor and weak", can't remember the exact quote.
Can you help me?

Answer 1

It's a poem, hon, by Emma Lazarus... a poem that you could have found with a quick search on the internet.

"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset hates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lighting, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "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!"

Answer 2

Statue Of Liberty Plaque

Answer 3

"The "New Colossus": Famous sonnet written by Emma Lazarus in 1883. A bronze plaque, dedicated in memory of Emma Lazarus' contribution to the completion of the Statue's pedestal, has been affixed to the inner walls of the pedestal since the early 1900's. This plaque, currently located in the Statue of Liberty exhibit, has come to symbolize the statue's universal message of hope and freedom for immigrants coming to America and people seeking freedom around the world.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
Here at our sea-washed, sunset- gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mothers of Exile. From her beacon hand
Glows world-wide welcome, her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" she cries
With a silent lips, "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!"

[November 2, 1883, Emma Lazarus 1849-1887)"

Give me your tired, your poor,

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

[T]he policy or advantage of [immigration] taking place in a body (I mean the settling of them in a body) may be much questioned; for, by so doing, they retain the Language, habits and principles (good or bad) which they bring with them. Whereas by an intermixture with our people, they, or their descendants, get assimilated to our customs, measures and laws: in a word, soon become one people. -- George Washington (letter to John Adams, 15 November 1794) GEORGE WASHINGTON: "The bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent and respectable stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and religions, whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment." -Address to the Members of the Volunteer Association and the Other Inhabitants of the Kingdom of Ireland Who Have Lately Arrived in the City of New York, December 2, 1783 GEORGE WASHINGTON: "Happy, thrice happy shall they be pronounced hereafter who have contributed anything, who have performed the meanest office in erecting this stupendous fabric of freedom and empire on the broad basis of Independence, who have assisted in protecting the rights of humane nature and establishing an asylum for the poor and oppressed of all nations and religions." -General Orders, April 18, 1783

The Statue is NOT on Ellis Island, which is closed,,, a place where if you could not pass an AIDs test you could not get into the country. Obama had the inscription changed "Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,,,make that EAT free!"

Answer 8

your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Heres the whole poem:

“The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!"” cries she
With silent lips. “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!”

Answer 9

Yes, we all know....that is, those that have studied a small modicum of American history.....Ellis Island was the home of this plaque; written as an haiku, kinda, (Given free association n' iambic pentameter), but this lovely bit of prose does not equate with the occurrence at our southern borders...a deluge of illegal immigrants (do not equate these illegals as, 'legal', ...as a result of them turning themselves in at the first opportunity to federal agents), coming in a wave far beyond what American can absorb in so short of time....REGARDLESS of Party Affiliation.....heck, it's apparent, that we cain't even take of our OWN.......
