Crummy sonnets do not set public policy. It's tiresome and mystifying that people think they do.
Also, why are you complaining about Microsoft, et al? They are dead-set on reducing tech workers' wages through immigration. You should applaud them.
- jcrites 13y agoThe sonnet doesn't set public policy. But I think it's worthwhile to remember the US's historical views towards immigration - that it made the country stronger. On the other hand, since then protectionism, especially the desire to protect American jobs, has grown over time. > Paul Auster wrote that "Bartholdi's gigantic effigy was originally intended as a monument to the principles of international republicanism, but 'The New Colossus' reinvented the statue's purpose, turning Liberty into a welcoming mother, a symbol of hope to the outcasts and downtrodden of the world". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Colossus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Colossus > The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States: a welcoming signal to immigrants arriving from abroad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty I'm not complaining about the companies that can get Visas. I work for one of them. I'm just pointing out a fact that seems to be true.
