The White House is gearing up for a big fight this summer with the Democratic party’s open borders lobby, says Stephen Miller, senior adviser to President Donald Trump.

In an exclusive, hour-long interview with Breitbart News, Miller describes a Trump administration that has a clear strategy heading into this year’s midterm elections.

Administration strategy should begin with removing:

Bronze plaque inside the Statue of Liberty

That bronze plague is the only place The New Colossus can found on the Statue of Liberty. President Trump has the authority to remove the plaque from the Statue of Liberty but he will not.

Concerned Republican senators would serve the country well by using their clout to pressure Trump into removing the single, most destructive, sonnet ever written. Removable would be a good start in knocking the props out from under the big lie driving the open-borders crowd.


If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State. Joseph Goebbels

I will also bet that less than one percent of Americans —— and no U.N. refugees at all —— know what the Grande Dame really stands for. This is why those foul words are a lie:

Author John T. Cunningham wrote that "The Statue of Liberty was not conceived and sculpted as a symbol of immigration, but it quickly became so as immigrant ships passed under the statue. However, it was Lazarus's poem that permanently stamped on Miss Liberty the role of unofficial greeter of incoming immigrants".

Myth No. 1: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses/The wretched refuse of your teeming shore..." Well, not quite. Emma Lazarus's 1883 poem "The New Colossus" -- written in the year the Statue of Liberty was dedicated -- has been taken by many to reflect a true picture of immigration. This is not the case. From the colonial period on, there were standards that immigrants had to meet. Originally addressed at the regional level, then by the states, they were eventually federalized. The immigration stations, such as the one at Ellis Island in New York harbor, were not welcoming centers. They were processing points for the inspection and certification of new arrivals. Individuals with physical or mental problems, or who were known to be criminals in their country of origin, were denied entry. Older or underage family members required sponsorship. All of this was to ensure that the newly arrived immigrants would not be a burden to their new country and could either support themselves or be supported by others.

Myth No. 2: People come here because they want to become Americans.

NOTE: Muslim refugees disprove myth No. 2. If there is any truth in the myth Muslims would also want to become Europeans, too. If anything, Muslims should become French because three replicas of Lady Liberty stand in France, NONE OF THEM INCLUDE THE NEW COLOSSUS:

Myth No. 3: Everyone is really seeking the same things.

The Dangerous Mythology of Immigration

REFUGEES WELCOME BANNER

Instead of a monument to individual liberty, Lady Liberty morphed into an invitation to the wretched parasites of the world who do not come here yearning to be free, or to work for themselves and their loved ones. Instead, they come with their hands out to big government. I even suggested hanging Emma Lazarus’ stain right over Typhoid Nancy’s front door.
 
Emma Lazarus’ garbage grew like Topsy since that day in 1903 the plague was mounted inside the pedestal. Everything that happened in immigration after 1903 infected the country with Emma’s disease.

1924: President Coolidge abused the Antiquities Act of 1906 by declaring the Statue of Liberty is a National Monument.

1945: President Truman and WWII refugees.

On 22 December 1945, President Harry S. Truman directed that 40,000 refugees be admitted and charged against national origins quotas, in the future if necessary.

Refugee Policies - Refugees and the cold war

Refugees and the cold war - Refugee Policies

1950 - 1954
Today’s mass migrations began slowly when illegal aliens passed themselves off as Puerto Ricans. The Tootsie Roll Company hired AMERICAN CITIZEN Puerto Ricans to work in their plant in Hoboken, New Jersey. Illegal aliens from Central America saw an opening to come here without fear of deportation. Nobody challenged them when they claimed they were American Puerto Ricans. If they spoke Spanish they were Puerto Rican.

NOTE: Tootsie Roll closed the Hoboken plant and moved south leaving illegal aliens behind. Not long after the “Puerto Rican” ploy was successfully exploited by illegals, Hudson County, New Jersey, and NYC, became magnets for waves of illegal aliens from Latin America. Regardless of origin, today’s illegal aliens do not bother lying about their status. Indeed, they openly demand citizenship Rights and more welfare state programs.

1951: United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

. . . the newly formed United Nations also played a growing role in settling refugees. Building upon the work of the League of Nations, the United Nations emerged as the most important international agency coping with refugees when it created the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and adopted the Convention on Refugees in 1951. The United States supported the UNHCR financially and eventually accepted the convention's statement as its own. While more than three million refugees settled in the United States from 1945 to 2000, American support of the UNHCR was based on the belief that most refugees wanted to return home when conditions permitted and not necessarily immigrate to the United States.

Refugee Policies - Refugees and the cold war

Refugees and the cold war - Refugee Policies

1965: Senator Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Act turned immigration into an affirmative action program based on racial preferences.

1986: President Reagan signs first amnesty bill.

Recently the liberal media has been pushing its pro-amnesty agenda by painting a false picture of Reagan on immigration and amnesty. Reagan saw that illegal immigration was becoming a big problem and wanted to stop it. He was persuaded to allow a relatively small amnesty as a bargaining chip to strengthen border security, and more importantly, workplace enforcement. Reagan wanted to fine employers $3,000 to $10,000 for each illegal immigrant deliberately hired. Congress betrayed him on the enforcement measures and probably the extent and eventual costs of the amnesty. Blindness to likely consequences and costs of social legislation seems to be an inherent characteristic of liberal politicians of both major parties. One of the great shortcomings of progressives is their inability to progress to step 2 or 3 in thinking through the logical consequences of legislation. They have an unshakeable faith in the wisdom of the latest poll of uninformed voters. Reagan should have known better than to trust the happy-clappy liberals and servants of the big dollar lobbyists. He made a big mistake, but he admitted it.

Ronald Reagan was not comfortable with amnesty. He was pro-enforcement, and he admitted to Edwin Meese that the biggest mistake of his presidency was to sign the 1986 amnesty. We should learn from the wisdom Reagan gained by bitter experience. Any amnesty is a slippery slope to national economic and social disaster.

1990: The Immigration Act is passed.

2009: Democrats, RINO, and the New World Order crowd tearing down America’s borders permanently predated Obama’s invasion of children.

What does media have to do with open-borders? Answer: Journalists are most responsible for torturing the true meaning of the Statue of Liberty until The New Colossus became a battle cry for an army of parasites.

Parenthetically, the names, words, and deeds of thousands of men and women who made extraordinary contributions to America’s success are forgotten. On the negative side the names of those who did the most injury to the country are remembered in a favorable light. The catastrophe is that all of the do-gooder snakes combined did less injury than did Emma Lazarus.

In fact, I often said it would not be a bad thing if Muslim fundamentalists blew up the Statue of Liberty just so long as that terrible, terrible, concept in Lazarus’ sonnet is also destroyed. Do not laugh. I ran across open-borders advocates on message boards who truly believed the words in Lazarus’ sonnet is the law of the land. I even ran into a few geniuses on message boards who insisted the “tired and poor” crap is in the Constitution and/or in the Declaration of Independence. Checking those documents never occurred to them.

Just so my remarks are not misunderstood: Remove The New Colossus and there is no one who loves Lady Liberty more than I. Blow it up AFTER the plaque is removed and Americans would be justifiably angry for the right reason.

There is another aspect of the Statue of Liberty that needs to be examined. Lady liberty is becoming a symbol for democracy around the world. Unfortunately, symbols that begin life as monuments often come to represent the opposite of their original intent. Lady Liberty standing for democracy is the sickest perversion of all. You can be sure that in the past 100 years America’s children never learned the truth in a public school.

This should be the anthem for passing H.R. 193:

The blame for a dead child on a beach in Europe belongs to the United Nations. The tragedy is not more of a tragedy than dead American children killed by diseases brought in by illegal aliens, but when did you ever see the media run a picture of an American child lying dead in a hospital bed —— murdered by Typhoid Nancy & Company as surely as they personally infected the child with an imported disease?

Incidentally, Pelosi is famous for having diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain, but she has been uncharacteristically quiet about United Nations refugees, well-knowing they will bring in diseases as did the illegal aliens from Latin America. Nutso does not want to prevent U.N. refugees from coming here —— but she is smart enough not to want her filthy mouth tied to more dead American children.

And have you noticed that reports of dead American children infected by imported diseases have completely disappeared from the MSM? Those deaths never got much coverage to begin with, now coverage is absolute zero.

Aside from not punishing a criminal act, the Lady is only gagged by America’s enemies when she denounces The New Colossus:



Question: Is not The New Colossus an act of vandalism? If so, presidents are duty-bound to remove Emma’s lie the same way they would remove graffiti from any National Monument.

No American should give a rat’s ass about keeping the Statue of Liberty open. In fact, the cost of keeping the S of L open is the one expenditure the federal government should shutdown permanently. Better than dumping the burden on NY/NJ it should be dismantled and shipped back to France with a note attached —— THANKS BUT NO THANKS.

WHY?

The S of L has come to represent a lie that does more harm to this country than does all of Socialism’s collectivist garbage combined. On top of Emma’s lie the S of L is the only national monument that glorifies a lie. Every Communist government is sick with envy because their lies are not nearly as effective as the lie told by the S of L.

Breaking the glass ceiling for a woman president is nothing when compared to the 115 year media taboo that prohibited all criticism of The New Colossus. After many years of calling for the removal of the plaque this is the first time I ever found anyone in the media willing to address the problems caused by Emma’s plague:
