Like the idiot woman of color who got part way up the Statue of Liberty ....
Time Magazine, July 2, 2019.
This Woman Climbed the Statue of Liberty to Protest Family Separation. One Year Later, She’s Wondering What’s Really Changed
On July 4, 2018, Patricia Okoumou shocked the world by climbing the Statue of Liberty to protest the detention of migrant children. She remained on the base for more than three hours, and Liberty Island was evacuated. One year later, as migrant children continue to be housed in U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities in conditions that have been described as unsanitary, Okoumou says she has struggled to find support and is now considering stepping back from her activism.

In the year since her Statue of Liberty protest made international news, Okoumou climbed the Eiffel Tower, was arrested for protesting at a school for immigrant children in Texas while out on bail and put on home detention, was sentenced to 200 hours of community service and five years probation for her Fourth of July climb, lost her mother and became pregnant through in vitro fertilization.

Wasn’t she an African immigrant?

What did she bring to the table when they allowed her to enter America?

You mean a black woman? "Woman of color" and "Black" always capitalized is the way leftists talk.
