the statue s purpose turning liberty into a welcoming mother a symbol of hope to the outcasts and downtrodden of the world 17 john t cunningham wrote the statue of liberty was not conceived and sculpted as a symbol of immigration but it quickly became so as immigrant ships passed under the torch and the shining face heading toward ellis island however it was lazarus s poem that permanently stamped on miss liberty the role of unofficial greeter of incoming immigrants 18 the poem was quoted in john f kennedy s book a nation of immigrants 1958 19 in 2019 during the first trump administration ken cuccinelli whom trump appointed as acting director of u s citizenship and immigration services revised a line from the poem in support of the administration s public charge rule which would have rejected would be immigrants who lacked adequate income and education to support themselves cuccinelli would have rewritten the caveat as give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge he later suggested that the huddled masses should be european and he downplayed the poem as not actually part of the original statue of liberty cuccinelli s remark prompted criticism 20 21 22 the trump administration rule was later blocked by a federal appeals court 23 cultural reception edit musical settings edit the 1949 irving berlin musical miss liberty includes as its final song give me your tired your poor which is a setting of the final part of the new colossus 19 24 the song the ballad of sacco and vanzetti part 1 by
