The tweet appeared to reference Trump's reported remarks decrying immigration from "shithole countries," like Haiti, and references the Statue of Liberty's reputation as a welcoming symbol for immigrants.

Engraved on a plaque on the statue is the poem, "The New Colossus," by Emma Lazarus, which includes the famous line: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore."
