The statue was a gift from France and reflects French ideas of what America was at the time.
Agreed, those were the times of the founding fathers and their ideals of what America "was."
All I'm saying is that today, the statue should probably be removed, and replaced with something more appropriate
closer in theme to Donald Trump's idea of America,
like this version,
Then the immigrants wouldn't be so confused, and jump into their rickety boats to float over to this land.
The symbols of "welcome" is what is confusing everybody.

Yes, I know, you thought you were being clever and pulling one over on us stupid flyover hicks.
Herp, derp and all that.
Jolly good show old chap.
...The document denied the King most of his personal authority, empowering the legislature and cabinet of the government. These anti-monarchists, known as the Hawaiian League, were mainly white men of North American origin, and they quickly appointed themselves as government officials, providing themselves with almost complete control of the government
...This new constitution benefited the white, foreign plantation owners.[31] With the legislature now responsible for naturalizing citizens, Americans and Europeans could retain their home country citizenship and vote as citizens of the kingdom.[32] Along with voting privileges, Americans could now run for office and still retain their American citizenship, something not afforded in any other nation of the world[33] and even allowed Americans to vote without becoming naturalized.[34] Asian immigrants were completely shut out and were no longer able to acquire citizenship or vote at all.
The overthrow efforts were supported by United States Government Minister John L. Stevens with an invasion of U.S. Marines, who came ashore at the request of the conspirators.[58] Advised about supposed threats to non-combatant American lives and property[59] by the Committee of Safety, Stevens obliged their request and summoned a company of uniformed U.S. Marines from the USS Boston and two companies of U.S. sailors to land on the Kingdom and take up positions at the U.S. Legation, Consulate, and Arion Hall on the afternoon of January 16, 1893. 162 sailors and Marines aboard the USS Boston in Honolulu Harbor came ashore well-armed but under orders of neutrality.

So Trump rather than like a man apologize for his racist remarks is actually denying he said them!
If nothing is wrong with what he said then why is he denying he said it. He should be proud he said it and repeat it so his cult members can maybe start chanting it

I don’t understand “Make America Great Again” anyways.
When was it great? When there was segregation? When women were thought of as inferior to men in the work place? When we were throwing Japanese-Americans into internment camps? When African-Americans were getting lynched in their front yards? Seriously. When was America “great” for people other than white evangelicals?

^^^^^^
Trumpites at their best. Immature comments about an ex-president while crying incessantly whenever someone bad mouths Trump.
No crying here!
Im LMAO at the tears of the clowns
We are only just begun.
To make America great again.
We all heard what Obama said in Russia to their top official. That's collusion.
We all heard what he said and did in America. That is what you would expect from a foreigner trying to topple a great country.
There is no other explanation.
Soooo.... are you seriously attempting to say that Obama was a foreign agent trying to undermine the USA? Seriously? Because if you are then I have a lot of hysterical laughter for you.

CNN, MSNBC, DURBIN, and all liberals are devastated by Trump's statements, AND his denial. It's not done by accident. You should be used to seeing this "trap" work so well, so frequently, WillTell.
A lawyer for President Donald Trump arranged a payment of $130,000 to a former adult film actress in October 2016, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journalciting sources familiar with the matter.

Following comments by the President, I said my piece directly to him yesterday. The President and all those attending the meeting know what I said and how I feel. I’ve always believed that America is an idea, not defined by its people but by its ideals.
The American ideal is embraced by people all over the globe. It was best said a long time ago, E Pluribus Unum – Out of Many, One. Diversity has always been our strength, not our weakness. In reforming immigration we cannot lose these American Ideals.
The people coming across the southern border live in hellholes. They don’t like that. They want to come here. Our problem is we can’t have everybody in the world who lives in a hellhole come to America
There are 11 million people coming through the southern border ‘cause they come from countries where they can’t find work, and life is miserable. So it seems to me that if you can control who gets a job you’ve gone a long way in controlling illegal immigration. Because as long as the jobs are available in America you can’t build a fence high enough to stop people

Actually, it's our refusal to enforce immigration law. Despite what many seem to think, you do not became American just by setting foot on US soil.

When did they stop taking in these refugees?
When they changed skin color?

European settlers did just that centuries ago.
They just came in boats, set foot on the land, and became Americans.
That's how it was done.
