Horrible, absolutely horrible. Might as well just rip the statue of liberty down at this point as its a meaningless totem

"…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!"

I mean the US has never upheld these values

Values?

It sounds more like "hey send me all the people you don't want, and are willing to work in terrible conditions for nothing while making profit for their owning class."

Well yes and no, but there is definitely an argument to be made that the US has at least upheld them recently up until the recent admin change by the fact that there was even a temporary protection status given in the first place.
