Happy Birthday , Woody Guthrie 7-14-1912

I thought this birthday wish was appropriate in light of our most recent thread.

I am trying to figure out who this land really does belong to. How many people want to repeal the 14th amendment to keep children of foreigners who are born in this country from being declared citizens?

In our discussion the past several days, I am reminded of Emma Lazarus’ New Collossus:

“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!”

That really doesn’t describe America any more, does it?
