    trying to immigrate to america and then being sent to greece or italy is like ordering a "cold wet pile of shit" and being given a fresh homemade pizza.

        Exactly. Meloni passed new laws late last year allowing them to detain immigrants for up to 18 months before deporting them again. I'll believe it's for 'resttlement' in Italy when I see it.

    The New Colossus

    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
    "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
    With silent lips. "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-tost to me,
    I'll tell them to fucking get lost!"
