  • In 2019, during the first Trump administration, Ken Cuccinelli, whom Trump appointed as acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, revised a line from the poem in support of the administration’s “public charge rule”, which would have rejected would-be immigrants who lacked adequate income and education to support themselves. Cuccinelli would have rewritten the caveat as, “Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet, and who will not become a public charge”. He later suggested that the “huddled masses” should be European, and he downplayed the poem as “not actually part of the original Statue of Liberty.”
