text: The poetic sentiment does not reflect the will of the American people as expressed in law.  The inscription on the Statute of Liberty is not a statute; it does not express the will of the American people.  The only American will of which we as a people may take cognizance is that expressed in the U.S. Code.  That is the meaning of "a country of laws and not of men."
  
  The American people have not forgotten to express Christian values in their legal code (although many on the left bristle at the notion that we were founded as a Christian nation).   Immigration law makes adequate allowance for those who seek entry as refugees.  What immigration does not do --- and what was not advised by Jesus or required by Christianity --- is that we welcome and receive all who wish to come here --- in sum, open borders.
