LAMBERTVILLE: Writer bemoans the reception to children here

To the editor:
Just a small reality check on the sadness of illegal immigration (especially when children’s lives are at stake:
“The torch is out.
America: take down that statue
and put it away,
save her,
please save her,
for some other day.
“Take it down and wrap it up,
dismantle her torch,
she’s all burnt out.
She’s all burnt out.
There is no light.
“The children came
from a hellish plight.
Here they came, for they did hear,
America is so dear.”
