My family came to the US via Ellis Island as poor Jewish immigrants escaping pogroms of Eastern Europe.
Yes, the US once was a land of opportunity that did help the lives of many poor & oppressed families.
They slammed the door shut shortly before ww2. So the statue had meaning for like 30-40 good years.

We should. You should demand we do. Am American, and I fully support this.
Y'all can come take it, I'm not gonna stop you but I'm also not going to pay for it
Well, no, it would be us paying for it. Taxes aren't yours, they're ours.
