"The ghost of the Mayflower pilots every immigrant ship, and Ellis Island is another name for Plymouth Rock."-- Mary Antin, in THEY WHO KNOCK AT OUR GATES.
"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!" --from The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus
