POEM - Illegal Immigrants

Make Sense?

I cross ocean,
poor and broke,Take bus,
see employment folk.Nice man
treat me good in there,
Say I need
go see Welfare.Welfare say,
"You come no more,We send cash
right to your door."Welfare checks,
they make you wealthy,Medicaid
it keep you healthy!By and by,
Got plenty money,Thanks to you,
TAXPAYER dummy.Write to friends
in motherland,Tell them
'come, fast as you can'They come in turbans
and Ford trucks,I buy big house
with welfare bucks.They come here,
we live together,More welfare checks,
it gets better!Fourteen families,
they moving in,But neighbor's patience
wearing thin.Finally, white guy
moves away,I buy his house,
and then I say,"Find more aliens
for house to rent."In my yard
I put a tent.Send for family
they just trash,
...
But they, too,
draw welfare cash!Everything is
very good,
Soon we own
whole neighborhood.We have hobby
it called breeding,Welfare pay
for baby feeding.Kids need dentist?
Wife need pills?We get free!
We got no bills!TAXPAYER crazy!
He pay all year,
To keep welfare
running here.We think Canada/America
darn good place!
Too darn good
for white man race.If they no like us,
they can scram,
Got lots of room
in Pakistan.
There's nothing funny about this particular piece of anti-immigrant hate speech. It is sad, that much is true. It's sad that stupid people believe it, even though it's not true, and they still believe it after being presented with the facts. Legal immigrants are generally not allowed to draw state or federal aid for the first five years of legal presence and those that are here under Entry Without Inspection [[illegal) status are not entitled to welfare programs at all. Those are the facts but narrow minded simpletons will refuse to believe the facts as outlined by federal law. Here's a good article separating fact from fiction but if you're stupid enough to believe the "poem" above, a fact based article isn't going to convince you otherwise...
