Do you think the ideas of americans today on immigrants are different or similar to the ideas expressed on the base of the statue of liberty? if so, how?

The ideas towards immigrants these days in the USA have clearly changed from those expressed on the base of the Statue of Liberty. In the sonnet, The New Colossus, the poem  inscribed on the Statue of Liberty, one can read these famous lines: “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-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Whereas the Statue of liberty advocates for open borders and the welcoming of all immigrants and all peoples, today´s majority in the USA, at least as it is represented by their elected federal governments, both from the Democratic and the Republican parties, advocate for stronger border security and an economic and merit based flow of immigration –forbidding those who don´t meet these standards to be allowed entrance into the USA. Migration has become and economic affair, whereas in the past, it was a humanitarian and humanist issue.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
