Interesting to note that
after the slogan was added in 1903, a full 50% of those “immigrants” arriving at Ellis Island near Lady Liberty were sent back home as ineligible to enter the USA.

Yes, if you couldn’t pass the stringent health exam or the audit of your finances, you had to wait at Ellis Island for the next boat to haul your a** back to Europe. In the case of my family in 1870, they had to prove they had bought property in Texas before they were allowed to leave the immigration center in Galveston. Emma Lazarus didn’t have room in her poem to put in all those mandatory requirements to settle in the USA.
