We could send them ourselves, but it's not our problem, so why should we foot the bill? Perhaps we could compromise, and drop them off halfway?

You've touched at the heart of the matter here Brother Lukes, and it reminds me that it's time to digress a bit here as to exactly where that statue and sonnet came from.
Indeed, that poem (penned by a woman Emma Lazarus) at the base of the statue calls for inviting the "wretched refuse" of the world yearning to be "free" - as in free health care, food stamps, housing, education, and welfare to come to our country.
It was the French that proposed that statue as a "gift" to America to celebrate "Liberty" that was a common goal between the American Revolution and the French Revolution. Unfortunately, the French Revolution wasn't too successful as they found themselves in the midst of another Napoleon menace - and another monarchy under Emperor Napoleon III, which it took war with the Prussians to rid themselves of (typical of the white flag waving French).
Under the terms of the French proposal, the French were to provide the statue and the Americans were to provide the land and pedestal to put the statue on. At the time there was little interest in America to pay for any of this - even the New York Times stated that "no true patriot can countenance any such expenditures for bronze females in the present state of our finances". Private fundraising by a cabal of Free Masons then commenced and it was at that time that American Jewess Emma Lazarus' whiny bleeding heart liberal poem was written as part of that effort.
The conception of liberty as a female comes from the Roman goddess Libertas - and like most things in classical mythology is derived from the inventors of sodomy, the Greeks (or in this case the Greek goddess Eleutheria). Indeed, the French developed their own conception of female "Liberty" as depicted in this painting by French artist Eugène Delacroix showing a bare chested female leading a battle. If you look closely you can see just what the male soldiers were looking at - which explains why the French had so much trouble freeing themselves from the dark forces of tyranny.
It's time to remind all Americans that our American Revolution, our freedoms and liberty were led and fought by testerone infused untoxic masculinity men - and it's time to tear down that statue and poem in New York and replace it with a statue of Jesus with a sword (Matthew 10:34) as a reminder to the dark forces of the Democrats that want to enslave us with their socialism and communist tyranny.
