needs to be clear before it can go in the body text of the article
I agree - it's specifically facing OUT, and was placed in the harbor that was the primary point of entry for immigrants of the time. It is explicitly a statement about immigration, and the fact that immigrants come to the U.S. seeking liberty. I propose deleting that sentence entirely; what's out of context is comparing something from a prior era to the country's current serious illegal immigration problems.

Cut from article:
*This poem is often selectively quoted out of context by those seeking to justify more [[immigration]] into the United States, when in fact the Statue of Liberty has nothing to do with immigration{{fact}}.
Who says it's an [[out of context]] quote? And what do they mean by that? Let's be clear. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 11:50, 29 April 2008 (EDT)
