On Wednesday, freshman Democrat Rep. Max Frost announced that in an act of protest against Republicans' desire to secure the border, he had drafted a bill that would remove the Statue of Liberty from New York City.
Frost, who represents Florida's 10th District, referred to the statue as simply a "symbol that tells people to come here," failing to mention that the iconic monument sat next to Ellis Island, which for decades was the country's largest legal immigration hub. "My colleagues on the other side of the aisle, let's be honest with immigrants that deserve better than what you're offering them,"

Been waiting on some idiot to say this. Just wasn't sure what flimsy reason they would give.

The French gave us a massive and beautiful statue to celebrate our republic as the representation of liberty that the entire world can follow. Within a short time the Americans had pasted a lousy poem to the statue's base that invites all of the world's inhabitants to our shore. From raising the torch of liberty to a symbol of unrestricted immigration, we have degraded the gift the French so naively bestowed.

I did a search (NOT Google) on this guy.
Yes, I did have expectations about what I would find out about him.
Yes, those expectations were proven to be correct.

No where in the poem does it say “give us your tired, illegals. Or “give us your poor, illegals.” Nor does it say “Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost illegals to me!”
What the poem says to send these people who will work hard, stand up for liberty, and be the best you can be.
But then ole max frost is a democrat He most likely wants the symbol of sanity and hard work taken down. It’s a reminder of what a true citizen of the USA really is. A patriot!

If the GOP was smart, they'd use the phrase, "Democrats want to tear down the Statue of Liberty".
Isn't that what Schumer would say, leaving out all of the other commentary?

Immigrants deserve better? I submit that illegal immigrants do not DESERVE a nickel from the invaded country. The invaded country is at liberty to treat them how they choose, not how the invaders choose

The Statue of Liberty is a monument to our ancestors who complied with our immigration laws, not to criminals who flout them.

Regardless of how many ignorant fools think that the Statue of Liberty celebrates immigration.....it DOES NOT.
The Statue of Liberty celebrates FREEDOM, and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with immigration, beyond some fool LATER adding that 'tired and poor' baloney to it.
The French who gifted it to the USA were celebrating freedom and liberty, NOT immigration.

I always suspected that people with TDS were operating with a couple of screws loose, but to be a card carrying, liberal democrat, you have to be operating with all the screws missing and only a small patch of duct tape holding on, to keep coming up with these hair-brained ideas!

No, make them come through Ellis Island and run them through the protocols and inspection process used from 1892 to 1924. Things like paperwork from the US consulate in their home country to even get in Ellis Island. If they make it through, they're no longer illegals.

Fidel figured it out in 1980. Kick out all the malcontents and make them America's problem.

Max Frost: Is that anything like Max Headroom? Tarzan would have glared at Frost, taken hold of his knife's handle, and ordered, "Ungawa!" Then Frost, terrified, would stumble back into the cave of horrors, and fall into the Doom Bog to be consumed by giant slurping lizards.
