Thursday, members of Cleveland’s Immigration Working Group traveled to three locations downtown with a mobile art installation titled “Liberty Weeps.” The installation was meant to protest the treatment of migrants at the U.S. southern border and to ask locals to raise their voices against recurring injustices within the immigration system.
The small group traveled from the corner of Carnegie and Ontario, where they greeted attendees of the daytime Indians game; to Public Square; and finally to the Anthony J. Celebrezze Federal Building, where they then conducted a monthly prayer vigil.
The installation featured a Statue of Liberty weeping over a child huddled in a cage. Members of the group passed out flyers asking people to oppose family separation policies and the new “public charge” rules.
They provided contact information for both Senators Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown. Additional info can be found here.

“We view…” “We’ll never…” Who is this “we” you speak for, Sparky? Your fellow White, Male failures unwilling to take personal responsibilities for where you are in life? Where did you learn your hate?
Sometimes I imagine having such a soft moldable brain that others can shape it with ideas based in fantasy while convincing me to ignore every instinct that kept my ancestors alive….that’s how I can process the concepts of the imp crowd.
Just think, you traded insurmountable student loan debt to be taught that giving away your legacy is Woke. Lol
Liberty weeps indeed. She weeps at the stupidity and bigotry displayed in the posts above.
Give me your tired, your poor…. Nah, fuck that, don’t let anyone in because a bunch of white, whiney bitches, whose very own ancestors probably immigrated to this country sometime in the last 150 years, have somehow concocted a fantasy in which evil, lazy immigrants have come to this country with imagined evil intentions, because they’re fucking psychics who can accurately interpret the intentions of large masses of immigrants without ever even meeting or speaking to them.
What instincts of our ancestors have we abandoned? The one where we welcome those who want to make a better life for themselves and help them assimilate because a relatively tiny, yet vocal minority of white idiots have embraced the fantasy of replacement and feel threatened? The one where we grow as a nation and economy by including diverse groups of people by welcoming and benefiting from the contributions of immigrants such as your own Irish, Italian, German, Russian, Polish, Indian, Chinese, et cetera, ancestors? Is that the instinct we’ve lost?
To the immigrants who read this, don’t think all Americans are as dumb as two of the imbeciles who posted above. I wonder if it’s just a coincidence that the idiots who believe in the so called “great replacement” are some of the most replacable people you’ll ever meet? Aw, say it ain’t so that a bunch of scared, bigoted losers are afraid of all the big, bad immigrants ruining the country, when it seems that they’re doing a fine job of that themselves with the unpresidential orange idiot that they elected to the White House.
Give me whatever the opposite of what they want is please, give me your tired and poor and let’s really make the idea of America great again, because that’s the one thing that really was great, for everyone, and it can be again if we reject these hateful, moronic ideologies.
Born Against. Your Utopia is a lie, and you’re not selling my children’s futures because you aborted yours out of white guilt. I have something to fight for, you just have human pets…lol
And lets not forget to raise taxes even more than they already are in this outrageously high-taxed, corruption-filled, city and county!!!
All you have is a convenient excuse that allows you to denigrate and discriminate against your fellow human beings without guilt or thought. That’s all you have. No future, and a past you deny, because that might humanize these people that you’ve decided to write off without it bothering your so called conscience.
If your children are anything like you, I genuinely hope, with all of my heart, that they have no future. The world will be better off without them, and you.
It’s funny, how would you know whether or not my utopia is a lie, given that you’ve never lived in said utopia? If it’s a lie, it’s because you want it to be a lie, certainly not because you tried it and found out that it actually is a lie. What does that say about you?
Looks like I nailed it. Your promise of of a world where everyone can coexist in peace and harmony is a fraud. Its against everything natural.
….and while you ignore instinct, pretending that everyone is the same, with the same goal to treat each other with love and respect….you are being exploited because of that dream.
You are being used by pandering Corporations that run carefully crafted marketing campaigns based in Social Justice to strike the right chord for your brand loyalty.
You are being played by Socialist Politicians that promise elimination of student loan debt, free health care, freedom from being offended, free housing and free child care. Citizenship for those too inept or too lazy to EARN it the proper way.
Utopias only exist for those that are taking. Those that it appeals to most oftentimes have nothing, so it’s not a stretch to be willing to risk nothing to gain something….its all upward mobility.
People from the same bloodlines sharing the same plot of land, differing only in religious ideologies, can’t even coexist peacefully….but you believe our case will be the exception, and you believe President Trump is the only thing holding it back.
You missed the opportunity of having children of your own and now use your instincts to take on the perceived plights of people that you believe are disenfranchised and discriminated against. You need something to justify your existence, so you view them as your pets and care for them the same.
Your misconceptions become our problem, and your plethora of time on your hands is spent creating boogeyman worthy of a fight.
Please reevaluate your place in life, you treat this small sad forum like it actually matters. It doesn’t.
The only thing you nailed is your own boundless cynicism and terror of those who are different than you.
Meanwhile, you continue to make mistaken assumptions about, well, everything. Shocking, isn’t it?
I don’t support corporations, any of them really, because I don’t make marketing campaigns part of my personal identity. I don’t believe Trump is the only thing holding us back, far from it. He’s just another log (of shit) on the tracks, so to speak.
No the thing holding us back the most is your attitude and the dumbass assumptions you make about everyone and everything around you. While we’re at it, your own intelligence and your ability to make predictions are also severely lacking.
Hilarious though, saying I’m the one taking this little forum seriously, while you dole out predictions, life advice and a bit of your own personal philosophies, to a complete and total stranger.
Who’s the one who really needs to reevaluate, because from where I’m sitting, it looks like you.
Good luck with that.
9 lines of text, I wouldn’t call them paragraphs but it’s still a significant amount of writing to do over something that’s supposedly beneath you.
Strikes me as salty, have I embarrassed you before? Afraid of using a consistent screen name because you don’t want anyone to be able to call you on your horseshit?
Sounds about right.
Take your life lessons and braindead observarions and pound them up your ***, Mr. I Have The World And Everyone In It Figured Out.
If your philosophy is the key to a happy life, why do you sound so damn bitter?
Questions for the ages…
I’m here to prevent people like you from giving away what little we have left out of spite for your failures.
Tell yourself whatever you have to so you can lay your little hate filled head down on your pillow at night and fall into a nice, dreamy sleep. At least in there, someone might give a shit about your opinion or your little, self appointed, so called mission
Toodles, my bitter friend.
Just for the record, fuck a utopia. I wasn’t advocating for one, just pointing out how fraudulent it is to deny the possibility without ever having tried or experiencing it, simply because you want it to be bullshit.
Yeah, by all means, fuck a utopia. How about we try just giving our fellow human beings the benefit of the doubt. Let’s give that one a shot and see where it takes us, maybe? Probably not utopia, but just maybe, something better than what’s out there now.
Liberty weeps when people that break in illegally are not prosecuted immediately and used as political pawns for the left. Get out if youre not happy; youre free to leave. Come in the front door and please knock first and wait for the invitation to come in before you do.
Of course Sam supports leftist, subversive organizations. Youre a seditious snake Sam.
