Happy Independence Day

Today the crown of the Statue of Liberty reopened to tourists after being closed since September 11, 2001.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar remarked on the reopening, "It's a proud day today because of the opening of the doors of an American icon”. He added that the new citizens' diversity illustrated the potpourri of humanity that makes the U.S. unique.

"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 lift my lamp beside the golden door!"


CAUSA wishes all a safe and Happy Independence Day!
