A reminder that not so long ago we honored immigrants in the US, even by carving monuments like this one at Immigration Point, over the Golden Gate connecting the Pacific to SF Bay.

Dr. Carla Hayden, the 14th Librarian of Congress, was fired by Pres. Trump today according to a press statement from @morelle.house.gov. Only the Legislative Branch should make decisions about the hiring & removal of the Librarian of CONGRESS. This needs to be fixed asap.
Morelle’s Statement on Abrupt Firing of Dr. Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress WASHINGTON – Rep. Joe Morelle (NY-25), the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, issued this statement after Dr. Carla Hayden was fired from her duties as the Librarian of Congress: “Tonight, President Trump fired a patriotic public servant. The Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, has spent her entire career serving people — from helping kids learn to read to protecting some of our nation’s most precious treasures. She is an American hero. “President Trump’s ignorant decision will impact America’s libraries, our copyrighted economic interests, and service to the American people by threatening support for Congress. His decision is a complete disgrace. “I will be introducing legislation to guarantee that the Librarian of Congress is appointed by Congress.” Background: Earlier this week, Ranking Member Morelle proclaimed in his opening statement during the Committee’s Library of Congress oversight hearing that it “doesn’t take much imagination to see the Library of Congress next in the crosshairs.” Watch the full opening statement here.

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.
 
Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.
