It didn’t actually say that. The Statue of Liberty was about freeing slaves. When it was getting run down, a jew offered to raise money to fix it, but her condition was that the plaque about immigrants be added.

The New Colossus" is a sonnet by American poet (((Emma Lazarus))) (1849–1887). She wrote the poem in 1883 to raise money for the construction of a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World).[2] In 1903, the poem was cast onto a bronze plaque and mounted inside the pedestal's lower level. This poem was written as a donation to an auction of art and literary works[3] conducted by the "Art Loan Fund Exhibition in Aid of the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund for the Statue of Liberty" to raise money for the pedestal's construction.[4] Lazarus's contribution was solicited by fundraiser William Maxwell Evarts. Initially, she refused but writer Constance Cary Harrison convinced her that the statue would be of great significance to immigrants sailing into the harbor.[5] Lazarus was involved in aiding Jewish refugees to New York who had fled antisemitic pogroms in eastern Europe, and she saw a way to express her empathy for these refugees in terms of the statue.[6]

Edit: added the actual story…I had it mostly correct.

The sign needs to be replaced with one that says, FUCK OFF, WE'RE FULL!
