FILE - In this Oct. 28, 1956 file photo, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Roerich from Bavaria, Germany, look out from the stern of the USNS General Langfitt anchored in New York Harbor carrying over a 1,000 refugees from Europe. In the background is the Statue of Liberty. The couple planned to settle in Ohio. The American self-image is forever intertwined with the melting pot, a nation that embraces the world's wretched refuse, a nation built by immigrants. 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.
