Has Lady Liberty's inscription been revoked ?
While this may be emotionally appealing and make some people "feel' better, the reality is an open borders policy will destroy the US. It's pretty easy to figure this out. There is a limit -- financially, culturally and politically.

My test would be, if one really feels strongly that anyone from anywhere should be able to come here (which means an infinite number) then start by having 5 or 6 illegal immigrants move into one's own home here in TV for 30 days. After that, we can discuss it further.
