Ken Cuccinelli is asked if Lady Liberty's plaque should come down amid immigration changes

Acting USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli announces a new rule to strengthen the ability of federal officials to deny green cards to immigrants deemed likely to rely on government aid; Mark Meredith reports.

The acting director of the Citizenship and Immigration Service office, Ken Cuccinelli, fielded question during Monday's White House press briefing regarding new immigration regulations. One of the more pointed questions: Should the plaque on the Statue of Liberty be removed?

Cuccinelli outlined the new "public charge" rule that allows the federal government to take into account income and education while reviewing a potential immigrant's request for a visa or green card. Officials say this will ensure that those who are granted access to the U.S. can be financially self-sufficient taxpayers who aren't in need of federal entitlements.

 Lady Liberty's 'plaque' is an add on not part of the original design.  Take it off.

I agree, Rusty.

One time, "the plaque" was reflective of what was good for the nation.

It NO LONGER IS.

Take it down.

Let the tired, the hungry and the poor.... stay home.
