“‘The New Colossus’: ‘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-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!’ Nowhere does it say anything about immigration status. Instead of scaring and embarrassing families, it’s time to invest in universal feeding. All children would receive free breakfast and lunch, like they do their textbooks. This would ensure that all children would receive nourishing meals, it would help to eliminate fraud and it would reduce tons of paperwork for directors. This could actually save a district money.”
