Y'know, at some point y'all are gonna have to chisel that poem off the base of that big ass statue, or at least cover the damn thing with a tarp. i mean jesus.

I mean... Wasn't the poem on the statue of liberty kind of a sarcastic jab at the US anyway? Because of... Y'know... All the slavery and genocide and stuff.

I always heard it it interpreted as an imploring instigattion to heed the best ideals the country was supposed to stand for, and to welcome and shelter those who needed refuge

The poem was well-meaning, but I'd heard that critics have pretty much always kinda side-eyed the whole project because the USA has never really lived up to the ideals emblazoned therein. I wish we did, though.

What a joke. What a travesty. These are the greediest bastards. No morals. Doing the crimes right in front of us.

Nothing says "brave white dude" like running off all the people who are different from you because you're scared. That's you Ted, and all the other assholes who have sold themselves to an orange god that will NEVER love them. Ever.

They definitely seem to have a problem with huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Our determination to kill the tourist industry of the country, in multiple ways, is really something. We hate foreigners so much we don't want their money. Like what happened to self-interest? I thought tourism was important to, say, Florida?

Like, can we let them in if they sign an affidavit saying they now hate the US and are only coming because beaches/they made the reservation before . . . all this?

This policy is just more racism. It is only going to apply for countries that are deemed to have a “high number of people who overstay their visas.” I’m willing to bet these countries will exclusively be brown and black countries.

Tourism is already down significantly; that will be the kiss of death. What business sector will they destroy next?

I vote a tarp that looks just like an uninscribed version of what it covers except slightly smeared as if with the Google photo "erase" function

Although racism is a common thread that connects everything Trump does & says. The systematic destruction of entire industries is most likely the idea of Larry Fink. Blackrock doesn't own EVERYTHING yet, and that has to change.

For a tourist visa? How many industries are they trying to tank?

they're almost certainly going to make a big show of tearing it down or shipping it back.
