$Today is the 140th anniversary of the inauguration of the Statue of Liberty. A gift of French citizens, sculpted by Frédéric Bartholdi and designed by Gustave Eiffel. Given the fracture between the celebration of immigration and diversity in the poem of Emma Lazarus and the current repressive policy of the Trump administration, maybe France could ask for the statue to be returned.$
