I thought you said generations of Americans.
Not political points for a campaign, or special speech given in memorial setting.
Just saying a lot of people misquote often the peom as it was written and for whom it was written - the Statue of Liberty.
While we are here, let’s discuss the less storied and famous islands of New York Harbor. Wonder what encouraging words were inscribed for the immigrants arriving at Hoffman or Swinburne Islands? What were the government employees tasked with their Immigration Rules and Standards to determine who got to Ellis Island passed go and got a stamp in their passport or got on the little boat and sent a short distance away to hopefully get better or never be seen alive again.
Not everything we’ve done had been nice and accommodating to people deemed unhealthy, dirty, or unkempt.
ETA: if poems, memes, quotes by Hollywood actors and even Presidents exercising their 1A rights of free speech are what indicate LAWS not ratified by the Congress/States and signed into law by the appropriate official than we have some big issues.
