No, the Statue of Liberty was designed to represent Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty, a word which can be defined as "the social and political freedoms enjoyed by all citizens".
There is a broken chain at her goddamn feet. She is an icon of freedom, commissioned after the US finally abolished slavery at the end of the Civil War, not your goddamn paranoid bullshit about "guarding America against the Jews".
Stick to your standard bursts of "Soros is going to make Hilary bomb Iran" or "the new Stars Wars movie is proof of an inevitable White genocide", at least there you've built up enough of a history that your glaring stupidity can't be easily noticed.
Oh, I see where you got this idea from, halfway through the second paragraph. However, you seem to have latched onto the country name so hard you didn't notice the rest of the sentence:
he approached Isma'il Pasha, Khedive of Egypt, with a plan to build a huge lighthouse in the form of an ancient Egyptian female fellah or peasant, robed and holding a torch aloft, at the northern entrance to the Suez Canal in Port Said. Sketches and models were made of the proposed work, though it was never erected.
I only mentioned slavery in that the end of the Civil War abolished it, making the entire United States free for the first time. The Statue of Liberty is, and has always been, all about celebrating freedom.
And just because a sculptor does other work in-between an inspiration and the final commission doesn't mean that the commission was ever intended for anyone else, it just means that they were busy with other work.

I assume you came here because of the /v/niggers post that OP (Amalek) made as part of a "Straw Man fallacy" against me.
TL;DR: The Statue of Liberty is about celebrating freedom, not guarding our borders against immigrants.
