Immigration Reform

Immigration Reform  
Question I must ask, were you American born  
If not  
Then X marks the spot  
Voices crying, marches to hear  
Congress turning a political deafening ear  
As a Nurse, I meet all nationalities, all races  
Worrisome looks upon so many faces  
Living the American dream  
Eight years ago, this issue was unforeseen  

New rules and new game  
Nothing ever stays the same  
Old players must now apply  
I have a job, family, we’re living the American pie  
Go back to where? To do what? Voices of so many immigrant outcries  
If this is America, to leave, we cannot understand why  
 
We contributed to a land not of our own  
Cooks, painters, landscapes, working our fingers as well to the bone  
You cannot get no more blood out of a stone  
Keeping love flowing within our homes  
Senate playing God while sitting upon their thrones  
 
Some, not all would say it contributes to our national debts  
Send them packing, and let our quota of employment be met  
Lazy is as lazy does  
No one blocks your path from taking care of the ones you love  
Is immigration reform right, should we feel less for others  
Babies left here without their mothers  
ICE knocking on the door, the new age Gestapo  
Deported pass the boarder wall, what an uncoordinated fiasco  
 
School rules, two languages it’s best you learn  
Jobs posted for bi-lingual, canceling out your money you needed to earn  
I speak English, it’s my official tongue  
This is where the spiraling effects of demonstrations dividing us all as one  
 
Making revisions for my living  
Interpreters seeking while my tax dollars are giving  
Medicaid coverage, most likely, the source of income  
I fought in the military, yet my journey to exist has not been won  
Expensive food items set on the table  
I’m hard working, yet my refrigerator is set to disabled  
My taxes paying for immigration care  
I have health insurance, my medical conditions causing me to live on thin air  
 
Mexican restaurants erected everywhere  
From money sent from over there  
No jobs to assist, other than their own  
Now you understand when a voice like mine are not alone  
This is the land of the free and the brave  
Cross their border, you dig your own grave  
Cross ours you live  
We give, we give, and we give  
Some have not even taken it upon themselves to be considered free  
It sometimes makes it harder for the working to some degree  
 
The oath to stay, presence hidden in the dark  
No papers, looking over shoulders caring who larks  
Criminal acts  
Known facts  
Running across the border not even looking back  
You will return once all is settled in time  
Crossing back over the border, using your American’s family dime  
 
All in all, we must get along to remain emotional prefilled  
Congress will come to sign a legislator bill  
I have enough love to concur, in times such as this  
It never mattered who was sailing their ship  
 
For the silent voices, I brought this issue as due  
What you do with the concept is totally up to you  
Take care of your home, as if it was your own  
Life related issues sings its own song  
Therefore, we must all coexist  
Immigration Reform, was a matter to discuss on my Nurse’s wish list
