Lady Liberty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781728629087)

Understand why immigrants continue to arrive, by air, sea, and land, at the gate guarded by Lady Liberty, a keeper of the American dream. The United States holds a light up for the entire world to see. By welcoming hardworking peoples from every background and creed, the United States offers the best of a free market economy and freedom of liberty for its citizens. Poet Emma Lazarus captured the essence of Lady Liberty by writing: "Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name MOTHER OF EXILES. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp " cries she With silent lips. "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 "
