San Francisco Language Access Ordinance Summary Report LAO 2020 - Jan 31 FINAL | Page 6

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!
Emma Lazarus

Give me your tired and your poor who can
stand on their own two feet and
who will not become a public charge …
No one has a right to become an
American who isn’t born here as an American.
