Episode Notes

GFADAF EP 15 - Belated 4th of July Spectacular!

According to many, the United States' greatest strength is that we are a proud nation of immigrants. So why do so many people demonize immigrants? Every patriot is no doubt familiar with the famous lines "Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" but don't seem to understand it. In this episode, host Tristan Bruns breaks down the monumental poem "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus—the same poem inscribed at the base of the Statue of Liberty—which spells out what ostensibly separates the U.S.A. from Europe and why we should be making life easier for immigrants, not harder. If you're a true patriot, then give this episode of Gasps a listen...and then go read a book (of poetry)!
