Yeah right.
These words are what makes America great. I should say, these words made America great. Now?
I suppose one could blame the falsehoods surrounding the "American Dream" for what they now deem a problem. It's not immigration. It's the bureacracy surrounding it. All of a sudden what's good for the Goose is no longer good for the Gander.
Americans are the world's dregs turned into greedy monsters who would choose isolationism over creating the world our forefathers dreamed of. Even that's a lie. We are the poor tired huddlesd masses.. We've always been. My grandparents struggled with citizenship same as anyone. I stand by the sides of those immigrants who are now being scorn for trying to find a better life.
Rant maybe. I don't have answers. It makes me sick though.

I think the moons ARE aligned with Venus, because, believe it or not, I couldn't agree with you more.
I'd just like to add that immigrants' struggles are workers' struggles.
