      Whatever happened to the Statue of Liberty’s eternal welcome to immigrants of all kinds, and the very real fact that the USA was indeed built by such folks?

      Time to tear down the Statue, amirite…?

        Unfortunately, that was mostly propaganda used to entice the vulnerable into a system designed by the owning-class in order to exploit them for their labor and treat them as second class citizens.

        The US was built by such folk in the same way that black folk worked plantations down South. Sadly, just because people did the labor doesn’t mean they have any rights to the product of that labor unless allowed by the whims of owners.
