Recent articles and letters in your paper indicate that the poem by Emma Lazarus that adorns the Statue of Liberty is no longer appropriate and should be revised. I suggest the following:
Spare me your tired, your poor,
Get lost, you huddled masses, disappear!
I reject the refuse of your teeming shore;
Your little children are not welcome here.
I’ve turned my lamp out, and I’ve shut the door.
