"The New Colossus," a poem by Emma Lazarus:
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"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-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Drop House
A Phoenix drop house where coyotes held more than
two dozen illegal immigrants hostage. Kidnappers
often force their victims to strip to make it difficult for
them to escape.
Police rescued a 16-year-old boy held hostage and beaten
for five days. Kidnappers demanded a $100,000 ransom.
When kidnappers' ransom demands are not met,
victims often pay with their own blood.
A 32-year-old Latino, taken hostage by two armed men,
narrowly escaped getting buried alive in this makeshift
grave his kidnappers dug inside a Phoenix house.
Kidnappers tortured this hostage by submerging him
in water while Tasering him.
This "torture closet" was used to brutally abuse a Phoenix
kidnapping victim whose family could not pay his ransom. He
was rescued by police after four days of being beaten,
stabbed, sodomized, and burned with a blowtorch.
