Frost Challenges GOP on Immigration: Take Down Statue of Liberty or Fix Broken System
- Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) challenged Republicans to introduce a bill removing the Statue of Liberty because of their immigration stances
- Frost read part of the poem on the Statue and accused GOP colleagues, especially Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, of mistreating immigrants
- Frost said Republicans' H.R. 2 bill dramatically restricts asylum and creates stricter immigration policies
- Frost accused Republicans of peddling hate rather than fixing the immigration system
- Republicans say H.R. 2 is necessary to stop thousands of migrants arriving at the southern border
