Virgil Goode, Republican Representative from Virginia,

has introduced a bill in Congress which will add a few

words to the tablet affixed to the pedestal on which

the Statue of Liberty stands. If his bill becomes law,

the tablet will henceforth read:

"Give me your tired,

your poor,

your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

except for Muslims,

who should be treated like wharf rats,

and drowned in New York Harbor."
