Do You Think The Statue of Liberty Represents the Same Things to Immigrants Today? EXPLAIN by Thompson, Patricia https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk The New Colossus en-us 2020-10-20 11:26:06 UTC 2025-11-13 13:51:40 UTC hello@padlet.com America has completely and ironically changed its views on immigration. People are more hostile than ever when it comes to immigration in general, but I still think that the statue of liberty represents similar values but to a dramatically lower extent. Its almost as if her light has gotten dimmer. Her values preach acceptance, and diversity, when the climate of America now, preaches the opposite. https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844853828 2020-10-20 13:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844853828 Yes https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844854596 I believe that it still means the same thing because the statue is still standing, it will always means freedom and equal rights to all.]]> 2020-10-20 13:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844854596 no it depends on personal views https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844855354 2020-10-20 13:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844855354 No https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844856777 No, because now immigrants are seen as “job stealers” and other derogatory terms.

She symbolizes hope and acceptance to newcomers that aren’t as fortunate as everyone else. https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844856948 2020-10-20 13:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844856948 she does mean the same thing today, due to the fact the inequality still happens today. https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844857654 2020-10-20 13:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844857654 No, I don’t, because these days the country itself barely stands for those things. People see America as a land of chaos and home of the rude, not free and the brave, this is mainly due to our gov officials. Our internal conflicts alone with race and immigration shows that the statue of liberty does not have nearly as much meaning of hope as it used to. https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844858565 2020-10-20 13:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844858565 https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844858612 I would say yes and no.
Yes: The Statue of Liberty is a important symbol for America that shows freedom. So, it will always represent that.

No, I don't think all immigrants come directly to New York so, just being in America it's self will mean a lot to them.]]> 2020-10-20 13:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844858612 https://padlet.com/thompsonp33_1/7jebnubius9jv4yk/wish/844866080 I dont think it does anymore because immigrants have been started to be viewed as unhealthy addtions to the country that "steal jobs, and commit crimes" and the statue is against that view.
