Illegal Aliens?

Illegal Aliens?

You never call them illegal aliens
Until they’re finished cleaning up your place
But the term that you have named them
Makes them sound like felons from “Outer Space”

They come here seeking employment
And to start a better life
But you wish to confront them
With your guns or a knife

It seems like not too long ago
Some other people came to our shore
And Lady Liberty held her hand out
And said, please bring me more

We always welcome foreigners
To do the work we hate
But when they start to live here
You want to close the gate

And if they build that wall
To run across the border
But the ones, you’re trying to keep out
Will be the ones, laying all the mortar
