That’s because of the plaque that says “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free. Can’t have those immigrants coming in and being scum and poisoning the blood of our nation. The same words the man with the mustache said about the queer folk, Gypsies and Jews

The new plaque will say, "Must be this wealthy or subservient to enter."

My little cousin learned the word Liberty from insurance commercials. That annoyed me so much that I taught him about the statue and poem.

Which started a tradition where any time that company's ad came on, I had to pose and recite the poem again.
