How do this statue and excerpt reflect self$-$evident truths described in the Declaration of Independence?

"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$-$tost to me$,$ I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

$-$Emma Lazarus, "The New Colossus"
