The statue is telling the world she welcomes all people.

Answer 1

Answer: The statue is telling the world America is a land opportunity.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt from "The New Colossus", the Statue of Liberty is telling the world to send those in need to the United States which means that the U.S. does indeed provide a better life for those in need.

It is also telling the world to send their homeless and hurdled masses because the U.S. welcomes all people. There is no mention of the U.S. being a land opportunity however it is inferred that the U.S. is a land of opportunity.
