is the meaning of symbol of America ("The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World")changing? A French historian, Edouard de Laboulaye, made the proposal for the statue. Work began in France in 1875 under sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi.It was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the United States and is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy
The Statue of Liberty was then given to the United States and erected atop an American-designed pedestal on a small island in Upper New York Bay, now known as Liberty Island, and dedicated by President Grover Cleveland in 1886.
Over the years, the statue stood tall as millions of immigrants arrived in America via nearby Ellis Island.
But Now US President Donald Trump has said all immigrant gang members are "not people" but "animals".
He was responding during a White House event to a point made by a California sheriff about the MS-13 gang, which was started in the 1980s by immigrants from Central America.
"His opinion" prejudices influences all immigrants unfairly.
It is like to say "all blondes are dumb"
Trump himself is blonde but he is not dumb on the contrary He is very intelligent and handsome.
