Immigrant Rights (McNamara’s Band)

Oh, we ARE the might empire, We pick and choose our guests, Europeans welcome here – But Mexicans are pests. We’re ALL in love with family – The Mexicans who come to work Must leave their children home. CHORUS: Stand up and fight for immigrant rights They come to work – don’t slam the door Stand up and shout with all your might We’re all created equal. Not some less and others more. I HAVE a friend who’s Mexican –She brightens up my day. She wishes she could visit home – But danger marks the way. War profiteers such all the cash – And we see that as fine. A Mex’can crossing the RIO Grande – Is a very serious crime. CHORUS Free traders like to build a wall – So only cash gets through. If all the riches travel north – The people will come too. Corn used to be a source of life – And rural people thrived. But now it’s a commodity – We go north to survive. CHORUS
