Statue of Liberty
The inscription is well-known. At least the first two lines are etched into most people's memory. Here is the entire inscription on the Statue of Liberty. "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."
There is a poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty that readsNot like the brazen giant of Greek fame,With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall standA mighty woman with a torch, whose flameIs the imprisoned lightning, and her nameMother of Exiles. From her beacon-handGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes commandThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame."Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries sheWith silent lips. "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!"

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" give us your poor If the truth is openly discused in regards to black history in relation to europeans and especialy the USA people are forsed to hang their heads in shame on behalf of their country and not many like being put in that position.
I believe the "fundamental limitation" on the doctrine of implide powers is and forever different for all levels. In some cases power, is the ability to control the masses or the media. In other cases, it's the secrets you behold that can save, or destroy lives of others singularly, or in multitudes, whether figuratively or literally. Implide powers is in a sense who ever can win over the masses or better decieves the masses, has less limited powers.
The African slaves were totally disenfranchised before the Civil War. They had no rights. They were basically treated like animals, and died by the masses.
Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
