As reported by the Associated Press, President Donald Trump says he wants to “permanently pause migration” from poorer nations and is promising to seek to expel millions of immigrants from the United States by revoking their legal status. He is blaming immigrants for problems from crime to housing shortages as part of “social dysfunction” in America and demanding “REVERSE MIGRATION.”

What happened to the words on the Statue of Liberty?  “Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” is inscribed on a plaque on the pedestal inside the statue, not on the tablet itself.

Everyone in America except native Americans are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. Immigrants made the United States what it is today. Donald Trump’s Reverse Migration idea is opposition to what has made America great. The wordsmiths who are the columnist for our newspapers will write about this more elegantly than me.
