Immigrants
The Émigrés were welcomed here
when they proved they’d live as one.
They passed a test to verify
they knew our mores and would shun none.
They had to learn our language
in order to converse.
They had to prove they had no link
with anything perverse.
Eleven million now reside
illegally upon our land.
They say because their families grieved,
we must their actions understand.
They now demand they’re citizens
because of all the years they’ve stayed...
but could some even now succeed
to pass the test they prayed delayed?
