The Statue of Liberty has an inscription, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski and Police Chief Mike Brown would like to inscribe on the This Is the Place monument the following (The Salt Lake Tribune and KUTV Channel 2 Jan. 26-27): "Give us your criminals, gang members, drug dealers, drugs, killers, illegal aliens, rapists, child molesters and terrorists." Thank you, mayor and police chief. I'm glad I'm old and live in Bountiful.
