"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."
- from "New Colossus", by Emma Lazarus

Many of my coworkers have requested the day off. Those who go to work today, myself in cluded, will not be spending. Please support our cause. We are not criminals. We are conscientious, productive members of our immigrant society.
