That’s their fault then. We have clearly-written laws; and in places where they’re not clearly written, you can call your local ICE office or your immigration lawyer (because anyone who’s living abroad or trying to become a citizen should have an immigration lawyer on retainer), explain the situation before you’re in an illegal condition, and see what they can do. I know that visa extensions exist.
I agree completely. The New Colossus does not belong as part of a monument in the USA since at least 2004.
