Lyrics:
Emma Lazarus wrote the poem in 1883 to raise money for the construction of a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World). In 1903, the poem was cast onto a bronze plaque and mounted inside the pedestal's lower level.

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

True, exactly, sadly. "Let no good deed go unpunished."
Who's "they"
"He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt." (Deuteronomy 10:18-19)
Do you even know what you are talking about?
She (jewish)wrote the New colossus for jewish refugees . Not because she loved the country or freedom.
What? What are refugees? What are you?
