"Nation of Immigrants" Mission Statement Removed
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ays/366207002/
"..The U.S. is no longer devoted to securing "America's promise as a nation of immigrants." That's according to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) anyway, which changed its official mission statement late Thursday and dropped the language to describe the country. The federal agency that grants visas and U.S. citizenship now refers to itself as an organization that "administers the nation's lawful immigration system." The new mission statement also eliminates the word "customers" to refer to visa applicants. In a letter to employees, L. Francis Cissna, USCIS's director, said the changes were a "straightforward statement (that) clearly defines the agency's role in our country's lawful immigration system and the commitment we have to the American people." There was no specific explanation for why USCIS dropped the phrase. USCIS directed USA TODAY to Cissna's statement when asked to explain the removal. "We answer to the American people who look to us to ensure people who are eligible for immigration benefits receive them and those who are not eligible — either because they don’t qualify or because they attempt to qualify by fraud — don’t receive them, and those who would do us harm are not granted immigration benefits. Thus, as we begin our work under the banner of our new mission statement, we will also go forward by ending use of the term 'customer' as an agency when referring to applicants or petitioners — a reminder we are always working for the American people," he said.." So that might mean "Give us your turd dropping towelheads" will not be etched in the Statue of Liberty in a few years, to go along with the already present, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore." A country that asks for 'wretched refuse' will get it, our major cities are living proof...and smell. Perhaps we can etch "Why can't we get some people here from Norway instead of shitholes?" instead, might decrease the wretched "smellage".
