Poem
An Outrageous Case of Illegal Immigration By Elton Camp We hear much about invasion from Mexico But the U.S. northern border is the way to go Aliens can, and do, cross with greatest ease For proof, here’s an example of one of these There is a man who comes and goes at will He has done it for many years and does it still Since he acts friendly and is always smiling So, he is given an exemption from profiling Though his appearance shows he’s not one of us Without any doubt, he is some old foreign cuss His strange clothes, thick beard and too-long hair Show that he comes from somewhere “over there” Oh, it’s true that he acts plenty generous enough Friendship he buys by giving away valuable stuff The government really should say, “What the heck!” Since on private lives he makes a thorough check Arbitrary standards of his own selection he’s set That determine what, if anything, people will get Should some foreigner ever be allowed to dictate His own standards by which Americans he will rate Should an alien establish what’s wrong and right And be able to do it without protest or any fight? Where is the outcry from the media or the press Why is it this outrage they totally fail to address? The employment he provides sure isn’t here That he runs a virtual sweatshop is what I fear According to what a good many people say He accords his band of workers little or no pay Since his manufacturing is done practically free, To American companies it seems unfair to me It’s unlikely that any tax this bad man does pay For his workers, a union has nothing it can say Worse, it is to our children he directs his appeal To a foreigner their admiration and love to steal Who knows just what his ultimate goal might be Shall we wait passively and hope to finally see? No! The time to take action is now well overdue With these illegal border crossings we are through Since it is well known when Santa Claus usually flies The government should shoot him out of the skies
