"Democrat Sparks Controversy with Call to Remove Statue of Liberty Over GOP Immigration Bill"

Rep. Maxwell Frost proposed removing the Statue of Liberty in protest of the GOP's immigration bill, sparking social media backlash. His call to pass a bill to remove the iconic sculpture was criticized for conflating immigration reform with the statue's inscription. Frost's reference was mocked by right-wing commentators, and his proposal was met with ridicule and criticism. The left's comparison of the Statue of Liberty to immigration law has been a point of contention, and despite Frost's attack on Republicans, 14 Democratic lawmakers voted with the GOP to condemn President Biden's border policies.
