I think I’ll go to Mexico and give the people there a show
I think I’ll speak my language too, just like illegals over here do
I think I’ll steal and cheat and lie, and leave the Mexicans wondering why
They pay for me to have a kid, while I work for the contractor with the lowest bid
I’ll take the jobs that they don’t want, I’ll invite an uncle and an aunt
To live with me and 10 other gringos, we’ll all eat burgers and play us some bingo
We won’t pay taxes, they’ll never know, instead we’ll take our pesos to go
I’ll pretend English is officially the language of the whole country
While I get my free prescriptions filled, won’t Mexican tax payers be so thrilled
To know that they are helping me to live in Mexico illegally
While their kids stay dumb and go hungry
I’ll wave my US flag and demand equal rights
While I sell illegal drugs and get their children high as kites
They cannot send me home, cause no one wants the job I’ll take
And no matter where I roam, I’ll take an ID that is fake
So they’ll think I’m really one of them, black hair, suntan and I’ll fit right in
Language barrier, not to worry, they’ll hire people in a hurry
Who speak the language that I speak, like a parrot with a cracker hangin’ out of it’s beak
They’ll speak it in church, they’ll speak it in schools, they’ll speak it in stores while they look like fools
Cause fools they are if they let me stay, I’ll be giving them nothing while I’m taking away their culture, their language, their laws to be broken, no I wouldn’t mind being their little token
Gringo, oh sing o gringo of your own home land, while you steal food out of a baby’s hand, Oh Mexico is the promised land, full of people who want me to stay, they’ll be sorry if they send me away
Who will pick their fruit when I’m gone? Who will the Mexicans have to pick on? Who will take the jobs they won’t, if we greedy, illegal gringos don’t?

This is my cynical little poem that I wrote to demonstrate what illegal aliens expect from us but would never offer in their own country. I will never go to Mexico again. I stopped there on a cruise once and spent most of my time under water scuba diving. I can visit poluted beaches and hear Spanish right here in the US, no need to wander across the border.

Livin the life, you are pathetic. I read some of your own questions and they are in Spanish. You are in the USA. If you want to speak Spanish you should post your questions in a country that speaks your language. You are the racist for excluding non Spanish people from answering your own stooopid questions. I'd have written my poem about Poland, but I don't think they represent the majority of illegals in the USA. Can't stand the heat? Get outta the spotlight!

Likely not...it's a full-on double standard at the US/Mexico border...generosity is expected of the US, but oh boy, go the other way and you'd better bring that wallet...

Hi I'm a polish immigrant my status is legal.There is never too late to fight for this country!!!! The numbers of illegal alliens are straining our health care system. Education ,crime,and poverty are also often adversely affected by illegal immigrants. I'm tired of hearing that illegals have more rights and get more help than American citizens, and as a legal immigrant that pay taxes every year speak about illegals I'm considered to be a racist at work. So, my answer would to build a website write a propositon regurding signatures which I can get signatures and if that work apply for a grant might sound creazy but might work. There is a lot of people that feel that way we need to stick together like them. Action speak louder than words.

Oh heck no they wouldn't. Remember they say were lazy. But I remember when all the jobs there doing here in our valley white and blacks did with no complaints other than pay the recent wage and then these mexis come to town and work for nothing because they live 15-20 in a home so they can do just fine on little tiny wages. And all there women do is have sex and drink and do drugs and have more little welfare recipents.

What culture are you speaking of? The entire southwest, you mean the land stolen from Mexico? The entire area is Latin American culture, everything in America is taken from another culture. This country is a melting pot of cultures. How are illegal immigrants stealing that? By speaking Spanish? Most people in other countries speak two languages, why can't Americans too? This country was built by illegal immigrants. Let's get back to the roots of the country: White Europeans were illegal immigrants that came in and stole the land from Native Americans! Maybe we should all go back to Europe and give them their land back. Bigot!

There is a lot of criticism about undocumented people coming into the U.S. and taking advantage of jobs and benefits. Why can we not see that we are offering the lures with work, welfare, lax enforcement? It's up to Americans to change their system. If Mexico offered the same to foreigners, would some of us not take advantage of it? And an obscene wall - like the one that separated Berlin - is not the answer to immigration.

I have utmost respect for Mexicans and their culture. I like your poem but it breeds too much prejudice for my taste. I want border security and I want the only spanish to be spoken on the south side of a border fence that says you will be shot if you try to get over this fence! That is what I call border security! It's just like if someone is trying to break into my home, I can shoot them!

It is a day of many ways and thoughts....Oppression is strong in the days we walk in..Peace, peace, and they have none.
Trust and hope are weary of the souls, of the Tribes of the Earth, bickering among themselves, as times past.
It is time again to know it is out of balance...did anyone know the earth is spinning in space? What did you think we not feel it.
Natives are a Nation within a Nation, First Nation, Canada and here, who shared and cared and still try, too.
At times, not welcome in our homeland.
We have not a place to return back to, due to the fact, it is filled with those who come.
Power and control...soon all the water, air will be under the greed and control of the ones who seek power, at any expense.
Lives will be lost, as it was and is and shall be.
Look up...see the beauty...look around and see the Hope, look inward and know it is, so.
Know boarders have been this way before our Fathers and their Father's, before them.
Many come as they did when they could, and bring all the things that were and still are.
Human nature is not always directed by clean Spirit.
I try everyday to look past the things I see in the eyes of so many who look for a way, where there seems, like there is not one.
I will not take any of this with me, when I pass over.
I try to do what is honorable while I am here, Known or not...it is Spirit....
I like the poem, it was truth, as it is difficult to know... choices of the Rulers, not many have Honor and Truth...greed is big as is control...oppression is a sorrow....The Dove

What the hell is this ignorant attack on the Mexican people, do you idiots not realize that it is not only the Mexicans that are in this country? That it is not only the Mexicans that speak Spanish?? You need to educate yourself before you sit here and pass judgment on people that are here and not doing any harm to anyone!!! Further more stop with the stereotypes!!! Do you know how many "gringos" are out there selling drugs to OUR children!! Do you know how many "gringos" are out there killing our children in our schools!!! Why don't we target those people? Why target those who are here to better themselves? "America" is supposed to be just that a place for people to better themselves, a place of freedom but it is far from it!!! So you are showing pride in a country that has chosen to kill all those people in Iraq as a protection, but here are all of you worried about the Mexicans. I want each of you to think about all the Mexicans and all of the other nationalities that are out there working hard for their families, think about them every time you take a bit out of a vegetable, fruit, think about them every time you hypocritically go and buy Mexican food or shop in a Mexican grocery store.

you ever been in a mexican jail? that is how they would treat you, and you wouldnt like it. If you werent an american you would probably end up beaten to death in an unmarked grave in the desert, like they treat the ones sneaking in from the south.
