huddled masses

"I am in drag of the biggest queen of all, but in case you had forgotten what's etched on my pretty little toes: 'Give me your tired, your poor; your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.' That means freedom and trans rights," she said.

As for this country’s own roots, well, forget “give us your huddled masses.”

The lines, "Give me your tired, your poor/ Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," are inscribed on a plaque in the statue's museum.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me” read the words of Emma Lazarus inscribed on the Statue of Liberty.

If no one else wants them, we’ll take the tired and poor, the huddled masses.
