Reflection

In some ways, the poem reflects how the U.S. is today, but for the most part it does not. In America, we are still free, as the poem states, but immigrants are becoming less and less welcome, at least in the eyes of some Americans. These people aren't U.S. citizens, and are benefiting from us without really providing anything. This poem talks as if it will accept anyone for any reason gladly, but today alot of people would be unhappy with that.
