I think that you are wrong,

I came here the right way,

I am not illegal,

Why can’t you understand?

My parents were desperate,

We really had no choice,

We left everything we knew,

To start over anew.

You are taking away jobs,

We have to pay for you,

As much as I want to sympathize,

You are making the country poor.

The last time I checked,

You didn’t want that job,

It is beneath you,

I have a family to support.

I have to disagree,

I worked hard to get where I am,

I had to wait for years,

To receive my citizenship.

You don’t know my story,

I am a hard worker too,

You don’t know my struggle,

You are not even trying.

I understand that life is hard,

But you have to follow the rules,

I left my country too,

I had my struggles like you.

I find it very sad that you do not recognize,

That you are not that different from me,

Your circumstances were better,

I guess you feel superior when you should be sympathetic.

I pay my taxes and I don’t ask for handouts,

I wish it was that easy for me to be a citizen,

I am sorry, I cannot feel bad for you.

I am not asking you to feel bad for me,

I am asking you to look in the mirror and find your humanity,

If you did that, you would know I want the same things that you want

The ability to support my family,

And for that insult to go away being called an Alien.

I came the right way,

You broke the law,

I cannot see your pain,

I can only see you selfishness.

Talking to you is like talk to a narrow wall,

You forgot how it felt,

Your mind is narrow and closed,

You could not walk one hour in my shoes,

I have no time for you,

I bid you adieu!
