Freshman Dem proposes bill to remove Statue of Liberty in protest of GOP's 'bigoted' immigration law
Fox News
Democratic Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost invoked the removal of the Statue of Liberty to attack Republicans' recent efforts to push for stricter immigration policies.
The freshman congressman was one of many Democrats who attacked the bill, though he also produced a mock bill to remove the Statue of Liberty for Republicans to also pass.

"My colleagues from the other side of the aisle, let’s be honest with immigrants who deserve better than what you’re offering them. Don’t welcome immigrants if you plan to reject them. If you keep pushing your bigoted H.R. 2 bill, then also pass this bill. I’ve taken the liberty of drafting it for you," Frost said, holding up the draft. "It removes the Statue of Liberty, our largest symbol that tells people to come here."
