Illegal alien insults Americans during border interview, shows no remorse
Ah, the famed inscription on the Statue of Liberty:
“Give me your gamers, your con men, maybe your terrorists and bad guys, your huddled masses yearning to take our stuff, the would-be refugees of your teeming shore.
“Send these, even if we make them homeless, these law-breakers, to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door. And thanks, Joe Biden, and give us some more.”
I don’t mean to mock the gracious words of Emma Lazarus inscribed on the gift from France that overlooks the entrance to New York Harbor, words that you can find here.
Rather, the mockery is being made by the federal government – especially President Joe Biden’s administration – seeking cheap labor and cheap votes by abandoning our southern border and the rule of law and allowing an invasion that parallels the incursion of barbarian hordes into Rome long ago.
Think I’m overstating it?
Consider this guy, identified as 20-year-old Osama from Morocco, as he was interviewed by NewsNation’s Ali Bradley in a video posted Friday:
AZ: “If I pay $7,000 for America, it’s… I don’t care.” I talked extensively with 20-year-old “Os” (short for Osama) from Morocco who says because he paid money to get here, Americans can pay to help them.

“I don’t care,” he responded as Bradley challenged him about Americans having to pay for his illegal immigration.
He seemed to justify his breaking of immigration law by stating that he had paid $7,000 to make the trip from Morrocco through Mexico and eventually to New York City.
“Look, if I pay $7,000 for America, it’s…”
Bradley interrupted, stating: “So because you paid $7,000…
Osama: “I don’t care.”
Bradley: “… So it’s OK if we pay something.”
Osama: “I don’t care if this for America. I don’t care.”
And with that he sums up the attitude of
How can we find a balance between border security and upholding our values as a compassionate and welcoming society
Noreferrer”>learn more about here. But rather, I aim to ignite a conversation about the current state of immigration policies and the values we hold as a nation.
The Statue of Liberty has long been a symbol of hope and opportunity for those seeking a better life. Its inscription, inviting the world’s “huddled masses” to find refuge and freedom in America, has echoed throughout history as a beacon of welcome and inclusion.
However, in recent years, the sentiment behind those words seems to have changed. The idea of embracing immigrants and providing them with a chance to build a new life has been replaced by a narrative of fear and distrust.
This shift in attitude has been fueled by political rhetoric and the persistent portrayal of immigrants as criminals and burdens on society. It has led to policies that prioritize border security over compassion and empathy.
But let us not forget the contributions that immigrants have made and continue to make to our country. From technology and innovation to culture and the arts, immigrants have enriched and diversified our society in countless ways.
Imagine a world without the likes of Albert Einstein, a German immigrant who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Or without Yusra Mardini, a Syrian refugee who swam for hours to save fellow refugees from drowning. These are just a few examples of the extraordinary individuals who have come to our shores seeking a chance at a better life.
It is also worth noting that the Statue of Liberty itself was a gift from the people of France, a symbolic gesture of solidarity and friendship between nations. It serves as a reminder that we are all connected and that our strength lies in our diversity.
Instead of closing our doors to those in need, we should be opening them wider. We have the opportunity to embrace the ideals that our nation was built upon – freedom, equality, and opportunity for all.
This does not mean disregarding security concerns or the need for a structured immigration system. It means finding a balance between safeguarding our borders and upholding our values as a compassionate and welcoming society.
As we move forward, let us remember the words of Emma Lazarus and the message of the Statue of Liberty. Let us strive to be a nation that reaches out a helping hand to those in need, regardless of their background or circumstance.
Because in the end, the true measure of a nation’s greatness lies not in its wealth or power, but in its compassion and empathy.
