Did Lady Liberty Lie?

from The Future in Context

Our resident humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson suggests that the poem best known for its placement at the base of the Statue of Liberty may have created a case of false advertising to migrants around the world. America's incoherent immigration policy is caught between the competing instincts of "give me … your huddled masses" and "build that wall."
