Hi all,
I don't think that poem is true at all. I don't think that anyone here meant anything by posting it, but I find the poem to be offensive because it is hate literature, and it is very prejudiced and racist. It's kind of ironic that immigrants get blamed for problems in a country that is run by people who originally immigrated and stole the land from the first nations people. I'm in Canada, but I think that the sentiments in the poem and the ideaolgoy behind it are basically the same in Canada and the States. This kind of poem may seem innocent enough, but it's things like this that shift people's views towards dehumanizing other human beings. The problem with the economy isn't immigrants, it's a corrupt government. Sorry if I'm upsetting anyone, but that poem really pissed me off.
