Restricitng immigration won't solve this country's problems
|
The refugees are only our leaders scapegoats
|
Bigoted politicians claim that immigration is unemployment's source
|
So the INS are given unending power to enforce
|
The restrictions regulated by immigrants descendants
|
Who project open border policies as national resentments
|
Unwilling to provide the same opportunities they've been given
|
To desperate refugees whose passage has been forbidden
|
By a government who's often reponsible for their countries situation
|
But they just intensify the suffering by restricting immigration
|
Denying immigrants from crossing a line
|
They're closing the borders like they've closed their minds
|
Regardless of citizenship we're all the same
|
No human is illegal like governments claim
|
Exploiting foreign markets with capitalisms principles
|
NAFTA was created to benefit the multinationals
|
Big business cuts their expenses with their sweatshop wage
|
Keeping foreign labor in an economical cage
|
They've created the incentive to ship the jobs out of this country
|
Making Americans more receptive to minimum wage and bigotry
|
The government maintains approval when their fault remains concealed
|
They'll just find another scapegoat after they pass the anti-immigration bill
|
Denying immigrants from crossing a line
|
They're closing the borders like they've closed their minds
|
Regardless of citizenship we're all the same
|
No human is illegal like the governments claim
|
Creating xenophobia is another tactic in which our leaders have managed
|
To redirect blame to someone other than themselves or big business
|
The media lap up the reports of increasing poverty, unemployment, welfare and
|
Government aid supposedly caused by refugees while largely ignoring the
|
Countless reports of rapes, beating, and general harassment by the
|
INS and US border patrols Not to mention American servicemen
|
Actually crossing the Mexican border to rape women or New York police
|
Officers gang raping a Haitian immigrant with a plunger These atrocities
|
Occur because xenophobia has instilled the thinking that refugees are
|
Problems and not people...Xenophobia kills
|
Patriotism plants the seeds of ignorance and hate
|
Destroying the people and all compassion to protect the state
|
Every person is entitled to live, no human should be banned
|
It only benefits the wealthy to own a piece of land
|
It only divides the people by the borders, by the countries
|
It's only another obstacle blocking any chance of equality
|
We've got to smash their walls our efforts must persist
|
We've got to wake the people up to see what they've dismissed
|
People are not expendable, government is
|
People are not expendable, government is
|
People are not expendable, government is
|
People are not expendable, government is
|
