Ryan Rose reports:
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) has proposed a 10-year moratorium on immigration. Then he proposed silencing the monument that has greeted immigrants for more than a century.
“We gotta put a bedsheet ― a big bedsheet ― over the Statue of Liberty,” Nehls told journalist Pablo Manríquez. “She’s gotta go to sleep for a while ‘cause we’re not letting anybody in anymore. Instead of having a torch, maybe it needs a stop sign.”
The proposal came after the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship, the constitutional guarantee that children born here are automatically citizens. The ruling blocks Trump’s executive order insisting otherwise.
Nehls is a staunch Trump ally.
