Yes, and it's about time. There are philosophies that we Americans live by that are not written into the Constitution, but make us that much more American because we still live by these philosophies. Unfortunately, with everyone feeling like a victim, allowing radicalism to take over both political parties and the radicals taking all the attention, we seem to have forgotten what it truly is to be American.
One of these philosophies is to be a safe haven for all those who seek refuge from injustice, and especially death from that injustice.
Let us be reminded what are Statue of Liberty tells the world:

"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-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

One of the worse days in American history was when President Cleveland accept the statute of liberty and another one was when the Jewess Emma Lazarus wrote the damn poem that's attached to it. It's been an anchor around America's neck ever since.

I actually came here through a star gate from the Sombrero Galaxy. Would you like to go back with me?

Only meaningless to a Nationalist, all the more sacred to a Patriot.

Our country would do better if everyone would stop with the self victimization and have rational conversations about the issues.
