On Immigration: Give me your poor, if they won't become a public charge

Cuccinelli doubled down on his characterization of the famous Emma Lazarus Statue of Liberty sonnet, saying the poem was referring mostly to immigrants coming from Europe. "Give me your tired, your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge," he said during an interview with NPR. "That plaque was put on the Statue of Liberty at almost the first time the first public charge law was passed."
