Immigration

What would Jesus say
When fellow man is turned away?

Where is the compassion
When citizenship is rationed?

If you have different skin
Will you be let in?

Are you them or us
Will you cause a fuss?

What good will you do
Or should you be in a zoo?

We’re all the same species
The same animal
Even if you are different
You can still be my pal

Is speaking the language
Just discrimination?
Where did we come from
To form this great nation

Irish, Celts, Saxons, Normans
Danes, Gauls or Germans?

Africans, Jews, Pakistanis
Mexicans, Asians or Afghanis?

They all bring something to our table
So let’s welcome them in while we are able.

What would Jesus say?
Welcome brother, come and stay.
