Immigration problems

All these politicians seem to agree
The immigrants are responsible 
For the poor economy 
They've come here taking jobs
No employment for our own
They're being housed in luxury
Multi generational homes 

They're coming in on boats 
Theyre coming in en masse
We're gonna be consumed
By the stalwart impasse 

This story is a myth 
But one the masses share
The fat cats feed the media
To distance from the stare
They want the lower classes 
Who seek to know the cause
Of their continued poverty
While the rich show no remorse 

These immigrants are human
They're fleeing for their lives
They're seeking help and shelter 
From those in the archives 

They want to live a normal life 
One free from war and fear
A compliment should be bestowed 
That they see that place as here
