Question 1 Answer - The speaker is speaking of the Immagramts coming into America as it is said on the Statue of Liberty, Question 2 - Give me the tired and the poor because most immigrant don't have any income or wealth and are tired from Traveling from their country to the U. S "Your hurdle huddle masses breath free" this quote means that the immigrants yearn for freedom, the rest is just talking about how the immigrants are welcome into the Golden door (USA). Question 3 - to me this question sounds like an opinion rather than a answer so I'll say sort of.
