There is no twisting nor politicizing of the meaning.  The meaning is
quite clear.  It is not politics, it is humanity.

They got on a boat and came here.  They did not have papers before they
got here.  They did not have jobs before they got here.  They were
fleeing from unacceptable situations in their home country, and were

who are looking for asylum -- and are fleeing far worse conditions than
the people who came in through Ellis Island.
