I don't see how she's crazy. She's right. How are you going to accept a giant copper statue, place it at what was considered at the time to be the entrance to our country, which all immagrants would see, and then put a plaque on it that says:

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "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!"

How are you going to do all that, then kill the inhabitants of this land, and then call Mexicans (which owned like 1/3rd of the land now called America) illegal?

Nothing “crazy” about respecting fist nations peoples or immigrants.
