Second generation of immigrants, Carbon Stymphalians’ colour has faded…

 

“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-tossed to me.” 

(Emma Lazarus sonnet inscribed on the Statue of Liberty’s base)

 

How often Emma Lazarus’s sentiments have been betrayed by harsh immigration policies. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has scorched the dreams of many of the tempest-tossed and these days actively betrays that inscription with a cruelty their parents had hoped they had left behind.
