Many try to place guilt on those of us who believe in the proper execution of law. It does not work on me for one.
I welcome all humanity, but within the law, not outside it based on political philosophy if that is the driver to NOT execute existing law, nor to address what is obviously the trigger for the current problem.
I feel guilty mostly for not being able to help those who are being required to care for those who came here under false pretenses, not matter how those pretenses were manufactured.
I feel guilty for the inaction of our government as a whole to address the situation and how it will affect us in the future.
I feel guilty for those all over the world being killed and maimed...in Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Israel. I feel guilty for those who go to bed each night with a threat hanging over their head.
I do not feel guilty for wanting my countries laws to be respected, followed and adhered to.
Mr Buggyone, your comment is extremely offensive to anyone who really cares about humanity, because if anyone cares about humanity, that would also include citizens of this country, that would include those suffering as a result of the run on our borders.
These folks were not attacked by us......
No, I feel not one single iota of guilt, but as you did on another thread Mr Buggyone, your attempt at laying guilt at everyones feet without addressing the problem is apparent.
The thread was not and should not be political. It is a concern about what our country stands for. Your response is the political response of the day and goes to solve nothing.
No, I stand tall, proud of my TOLERANCE and will not accept an attempt to use a tactic such as you have in your post.

Z, somebody else answered it. It is a poem by Emma Lazarus that was later put to music (when I sang it in high school) but before that was placed on the base of the Statue of Liberty after a fundraiser was conducted to have it placed there. It has nothing to do with p***tics, but I still cannot believe that if you grew up in the US, you didn't learn about this in American history class.
Plus the way you stated your question, referring to it as "the long-winded one," raised my hackles. The question didn't have to be raised in such a rude manner. I hate rude, and it makes me respond shortly. And if you really googled it, you would have found it. I did.
