SING IT to the tune of Jingle Bells
Grannies sing! Listen! Learn!
Important news you’ll hear:
We welcome immigrants to work
From any hemisphere.
Hear their plight. Don’t lose sight
Of struggles they have known.
Now they’ve come to work with us
And a place to call their own.
Immigration is the way
Our country came to be,
But problems do abound
As you will clearly see.
Some wages that they get
Are blatantly unfair.
It’s something we decry:
The system needs repair!
Night and day, little pay,
Quite close to slavery.
We must push for fairness
And commend their bravery.
Open border! Open hearts!
Display humanity.
Workers from all walks of life
Enrich democracy.
