A poem added to the base of the Statue of Liberty that welcomes immigrants has been dismissed by an adviser to President Donald Trump. Stephen Miller told reporters on Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2017, that the sonnet written by Emma Lazarus about the "huddled masses" is not part of the original Statue of Liberty and suggested the statue had little to do with immigrants.
