Evan Kane quotes Emma Lazarus'poem:

>>	"Give me your tired, your poor,
>>       Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
>>       The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
>>       Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
>>       I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
>>               
>>            Inscription on the Statue of Liberty,

Speaking as an immigrant to the United States (from England via
Canada), I want to say that I dislike this poem intensely.  I am
not "wretched refuse" nor a "huddled mass."  I always feel insulted
by this poem.
