No, the Statue of Liberty is not dead but the conditions are! To settle this country we needed people to fill the space and special need.
No longer, unless a person can fill a need here that cannot be met by citizens.
We cannot absorb every needy (no matter how worthy) person in the world! Unless, as an individual, you feel led to take on their support personally.
There are ways to help them where they are without overloading our resources. Our country has enough big issues without spending time, energy and resources on this issue.
