"The twelve tribes of Israel" are spread across the world - including the United States.
Although I won't correlate what is written in Isaiah with the Statue of Liberty - your statement that,
"The message found on the Statue of Liberty is inviting every freeloading, worthless third-worlder to come to America and enjoy her free handouts at taxpayer expense." Is borderline laughable. But I will give you all due respect and presume that you simply lack knowledge of history.
The
Statue of Liberty (
Liberty Enlightening the World;
French:
La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal
neoclassical sculpture on
Liberty Island in
New York Harbor, within
New York City. The
copper-clad statue, a gift to the United States from the people of
France, was designed by French sculptor
Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by
Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.
The statue is a figure of a classically draped woman,
[8] likely inspired by the Roman
goddess of liberty Libertas.
[9] In a
contrapposto pose,
[8][10] she holds a torch above her head with her right hand, and in her left hand carries a
tabula ansata inscribed JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4, 1776, in
Roman numerals), the date of the
U.S. Declaration of Independence. With her left foot she steps on a broken chain and
shackle,
[8] commemorating the
national abolition of slavery following the
American Civil War.
[11][12][13] After its dedication the statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States, being subsequently seen as a symbol of welcome to
immigrants arriving by sea.
The idea for the statue was conceived in 1865, when the French historian and abolitionist
Édouard de Laboulaye proposed a monument to commemorate the upcoming
centennial of U.S. independence (1876), the perseverance of American democracy and the liberation of the nation's slaves.
[14] The
Franco-Prussian War delayed progress until 1875, when Laboulaye proposed that the people of France finance the statue and the United States provide the site and build the pedestal. Bartholdi completed the head and the torch-bearing arm before the statue was fully designed, and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions.
The torch-bearing arm was displayed at the
Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia in 1876, and in
Madison Square Park in
Manhattan from 1876 to 1882. Fundraising proved difficult, especially for the Americans, and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened by lack of funds. Publisher
Joseph Pulitzer, of the
New York World, started a drive for donations to finish the project and attracted more than 120,000 contributors, most of whom gave less than a dollar (equivalent to $34 in 2023). The statue was built in France, shipped overseas in crates, and assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe's Island. The statue's completion was marked by New York's first
ticker-tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President
Grover Cleveland.
The statue was administered by the
United States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the
Department of War; since 1933, it has been maintained by the
National Park Service as part of the
Statue of Liberty National Monument, and is a major tourist attraction. Limited numbers of visitors can access the rim of the pedestal and the interior of the statue's crown from within; public access to the torch has been barred since 1916.
Development
Origin

Both the Roman goddess
Libertas and Sun god
Sol Invictus ("The Unconquered Sun", pictured) influenced the design of
Liberty Enlightening the World.
According to the
National Park Service, the idea of a monument presented by the French people to the United States was first proposed by
Édouard René de Laboulaye, president of the French Anti-Slavery Society and a prominent and important political thinker of his time. The project is traced to a mid-1865 conversation between Laboulaye, a staunch
abolitionist, and
Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a sculptor. In after-dinner conversation at his home near
Versailles, Laboulaye, an ardent supporter of the
Union in the
American Civil War, is supposed to have said: "If a monument should rise in the United States, as a memorial to their independence, I should think it only natural if it were built by united effort—a common work of both our nations."
[15] The National Park Service, in a 2000 report, however, deemed this a legend traced to an 1885 fundraising pamphlet, and that the statue was most likely conceived in 1870.
[16] In another essay on their website, the Park Service suggested that Laboulaye was minded to honor the Union victory and its consequences, "With the abolition of slavery and the Union's victory in the Civil War in 1865, Laboulaye's wishes of freedom and democracy were turning into a reality in the United States. In order to honor these achievements, Laboulaye proposed that a gift be built for the United States on behalf of France. Laboulaye hoped that by calling attention to the recent achievements of the United States, the French people would be inspired to call for their own democracy in the face of a repressive monarchy."

Ironically, if you actually understood and followed the 2nd commandment you would never Idolize or claim that a statue is an "idol". You would take it for what it is - a statue representing what it represents - nothing more, nothing less - and certainly not an "idol".
