There is a lack of humanitarian respect, as undocumented workers are tossed into prisons, or sent to a third country that has little to offer an immigrant. The Statue of Liberty is no longer a true symbol or an appropriate guide, as it cannot be a port of entry for the nation that no longer welcomes the oppressed and weary of the world. The new laws are a betrayal of the creed. Many citizens are now sick about what is happening. Yet the policies of the POTUS are being enforced. Saturn represents the restrictive measures taken, against the underprivileged classes represented by Neptune. Aries is a martial sign, ruled by Mars.

Neptune represents the indigent masses, an operation against large numbers of people, of a class that is considered undesirable.
