Yes, the promise of the statue ring true for immigrants. The statue of liberty was the universal symbol of freedom and paved way to the progressive friendship between USA and France. It is also a symbol of enlightenment in which the torch light guides the way to freedom and liberty.

What i wrote: The immigrants had been living in poverty or going through religious restrictions, but when they immigrated to America and were welcomed by the stature of liberty, they felt hope and welcomed to this new country. They were hoping to be able to finally live freely in a country that values liberty. Though once in America they did still face issues such as poverty, and many Americans were angry at the immigrants having anti immigrant feelings towards them because they were different. And though the new immigrants had more opportunities, they still had to work very hard and do dangerous jobs. So though they felt as if they were being welcomes and were excited to be free, they were still discriminated against while in America, and many remained in poverty. So it was true in some sense, but many people probably had their hopes turn out wrong.
