Mass deportation

'make sure everything is well packed son' Yes, Mother I have everything This has always been your dream Ever heard of the dreamers? Yes, mother I want to make you proud Well then your flight is almost Go thee to land of opportunity Go study, but come back For we need you, Yes, mother I want to change our lives He did as told and made the mother proud First in his class, an outstanding validatoria But he never returned home A land promised him a great future Back home is all struggles Back home is all corruption Back home we all languish in poverty Back home there's indecisiveness What better choice than to stay behind? I Will get the job I dreamt of The salary I drooled upon The fancy apartment not back home The beauty seen only on television But son, go back and help your country change! No, I am staying! No job, he was laid off after scrubble at work No house, he can't afford the house rent No phone, had to sell to find something to eat No money, can't run back home to save myself either. A walking undocumented immigrant What shall save you? You're a suspect for the killings You're a suspect for trafficking You're a suspect for homicides You're a suspect for rapes You're a suspect for mobbing Did you commit these crimes? No, the only one I committed was being an immigrant Trusting this place to be a place for My dreams I abandoned my home to come here. But sorry you, it's deportation time Go back to your country Go help your country stand on it's knees That's why you're educated.
