Keep your tired, we’ve made it a crime to sleep.
And the prisons overflow with poor.
We have no room for huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
Our wealthy will use the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Don’t send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
It’s too great a cost to enter this golden door!
With apologies to Emma Lazarus
