It’s truly a great blessing to be an American. So many opportunities and privileges are afforded me as a US Citizen (natural born!). Unfortunately, some of those who wish to become US citizens are denied the possibility to do so… in direct contradiction to the following words placed on the lips of “Lady Liberty”

“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!”
