So many lies here:
"That American myth was embraced and lived out by everybody from Washington to Lincoln to Roosevelt to Reagan. It was wrestled with by John Winthrop and Walt Whitman. It gave America a mission in the world — to spread democracy and freedom. It gave us an attitude of welcome and graciousness, to embrace the huddled masses yearning to breathe free and to give them the scope by which to realize their powers."
Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagen didn't embrace a mission "...to spread democracy and freedom" in the world. That's pure neo-con revisionist history. To embrace the huddled masses?
I don't recall Lincoln advocating for unlimited mass immigration - particularly from muslim countries. Roosevelt approved of the internment of Japanese American citizens. Reagan was hardly an open borders advocate.
A myth is that the statue of Liberty had anything to do with immigration: it was a gift commemorating the American Revolution and our alliance with France. The "huddled masses" poem came later. It's yet another myth, or lie, agreed upon.
