Pedestal Inscription

"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-tossed,

to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

-- Emma Lazarus, 1883, written to help raise funds for construction of the pedestal.

Other immigrants

The southern neighbor of the United States, Mexico is the single largest source of illegal immigrants. Of the more than 8 million illegal aliens residing in the United States in 2004, about 5.3 million-well over half-came from Mexico. Undocumented Mexican workers in the United States are an important part of the Mexican national economy. They send home an estimated $20 to $30 billion a year.

An additional 2 million illegal aliens were born in other parts of Latin America, primarily Central American nations. Taken together, Mexicans and other Latin Americans make up more than three-fourths of all illegal aliens in the United States. About 10 percent of illegal aliens originate in Asia, while Europe and Canada supply about 5 percent. The rest come from Africa and other parts of the world.
