Neither is wrong because continents are arbitrary so people can call the USA America all they wish.

      The problem now is who wants the gift shop. Because if New Jersey claims the shop, then New York must receive funding through intellectual property and ownership of the statue. If New York claims the shop, well the taxes were on New Jersey land. So either way both parties are on the losing side unless the land was technically federal. Then neither can fight for the gift shop.

      It isn’t a problem because that gift shop sells stuff that is 300% more expensive than what it should be, so both New Yorkers and New Jerseyites? steer clear of it, and let the tourists and immigrants take care of it.

    Also, when there was the NY blackout in 2003 and NJ still had power, the statue was still lit up, prompting one newspaper to run a headline questioning who she belonged to. The image of her lit up with a background of a black NYC was striking.
