Mexican Immigration Laws

Don't let yourself be fooled Mexico is not a poor country Not just tortilla and bean, or a old Mexican man on a burro But very rich nation, gold, silver, copper and oil galore And the poor people are anything but free Bit they are always ready to take a dollar from the Gringo But that is not the picture given to the world by our neighbor next door It is a Mexican law, that a gringo can not hold a job, hard way to make a living It is a old saying."The most useless thing in the World" " Is a Gringo with no money in Mexico" Some of their law towards Americans are un for giving But that is not what they try to tell the World The Government and the super rich have all the money If an American is caught with a single gun, 50 years in jail If one buys some land, right off the Government owns half of it They keep their people very poor, un educated for a reason, government control And in no way do want to be there anywhere in jail Wonder why Mexico always seems to make a profit Almost like the Devil has their soul Corrupttion is all they have ever known for many years For a hundred dollar bill, you get, Get Out of Jail free card Why so many work for the drug world or the Mafioso Tell them that they will be safe and away from fears Sometimes if it means working in the prison yard If you don't want to go jail in Mexico, then don't go So no wonder why they all want to migrate to the land of milk and honey Now with our new law, some are starting to cry But I for one don't want to go over there and live Fro the Stone Age, it has always been about money It is times for some of those to say good bye And live by the Immigration Laws, where they live
