United States and Statue of Liberty

countless millions: A plaque bearing the text of the poem is mounted on the inner wall of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, which has welcomed countless millions arriving in the United States at Ellis Island, according to The Chronicle Herald. Likewise, Pier 21 in Halifax welcomed over one million immigrants between 1928 and 1971, and continues to be where new immigrants, and new Canadian citizens, are celebrated. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! These noble thoughts conclude a sonnet to the Mother of Exiles. Both Canada and the United States owe their rapid growth to a constant stream of immigrants. In fact, they are almost polar opposites. One might therefore anticipate similar responses to the Syrian refugee crisis. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
