Trump's top immigration official reworks the words on the Statue of Liberty

What’s in a poem? A lot, as it relates to the Emma Lazarus poem inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty. For many, it describes the essence of ‘the American way.” In part, it reads: “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!"

But according to the Trump administration, that prose needs an update. In an interview with NPR yesterday,Ken Cuccinelli, the acting head of Citizenship and Immigration Services, it could/should up updated as “Give me your tired and your poor - who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge."
