That is meant to say that people who are rejected by their homelands, who have been excluded from wealth, religious freedom, from a decent standard of living, and who are thought of as refuse by their homeland - can come here to the welcome and loving arms of Lady Liberty, where we can make a country "E Pluribus Unum", (from the many, one), build a nation that gets its strength from unity, emerging from diversity, a nation of many diverse fabrics and strands that when brought together, are made into a quilt of great beauty and strength.
