What is Immigration? |

|
Discrimination |
|
|
|
Is in the heart of immigration |
|
|
|
Where you search and search |
|
|
|
But never get near the hopes and dreams |
|
|
|
Of freedom and success |
|
|
|
Where opportunities |
|
|
|
Is what you don't have |
|
|
|
Where deportation |
|
|
|
Underestimates the power of immigration. |
|
|
|
Where the millions of innocent freedom have been taken for granted |
|
|
|
While others suffer from the laws like the Page Law, Scott Act, and the Exclusion Act |
|
|
|
Whites spread joyfully |
|
|
|
Banning the Chinese immigrants from returning after going to China |
|
|
|
Was just another excuse to limit the population of Chinese |
|
|
|
When the Chinese Immigrants needed to be free |
|
|
|
The whites wouldn't let them |
|
|
|
When the Chinese Immigrants needed some privacy |
|
|
|
The whites wouldn't let them |
|
|
|
When the Chinese Immigrants needed to work |
|
|
|
The whites wouldn't them |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
All the discrimination towards the Chinese |
|
|
|
When will the whites and the Chinese ever get along? |
|
|
|
Not blaming each other for their loss |
|
|
|
Not blaming each other for their jobs |
|
|
|
When will they just get along? |
|
|
|
With all that hatred yawning to break free |
|
|
|
Towards the immigration of the Chinese |
|
|
|
Where the whites want everything to stay the same |
|
|
|
Not wanting anyone to disturb them |
|
|
|
In what they call a home |
|
|
|
Where there are limits to everything Chinese immigrants do |
|
|
|
From being able to go to school |
|
|
|
To the types of laws passed only towards the Chinese Immigrants |
|
|
|
Where they suffered from it the most |
|
|
|
Through the loss of precious years |
|
|
|
From angel island imprisonment |
|
|
|
Life has become full of wonders and mischievous thoughts |
|
|
|
Where the hopes to gain freedom is unbelievable |
|
|
|
Through all the struggles and hardships |
|
|
|
One family has come out and fought through the discrimination |
|
|
|
Now being able to freely walk around, with their heads up high |
|
|
|
Discrimination finally ended between them but, |
|
|
|
Will discrimination show its ugly head again? |
