HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

July 3, 2009

As previously reported on ImmigrationProf, the crown of the Statue of Liberty will reopen to tourists on July 4 after being closed since September 11, 2001. The National Park Service closed the crown because of concerns that it would be difficult to evacuate quickly. Here is a CNN story with links to photos of Lady 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-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
