Our Illegals

it is an invisible line that separates

one side from the other...  it is
across this line that thousands cross
every day without repercussions,
they come with their families and
they come by themselves...
they come without any skills and
without knowing the language,
some are rapists and murderers
some are thieves while others 
suddenly released from prisons,
they come without money and
just the clothes on their backs
but they all claim they are here to
participate in a better life...   none
of these travelers come with any
immunizations and none were
vetted once they crossed the line,
in slums they lived before and in
slums they will live again,,,  but,
more importantly no one on the
other side of the line wants them
to be here...  their children are
put into schools as that is the law
but they are unable to learn since
the words they speak are different,
the countries from which they came
did not send their best and brightest,
and our leaders know not what to do
with them all...  asking citizens to let
them stay in their homes and east their
food until decisions are made...  we call
these migrants illegals because they
broke the law when they crossed the
invisible line and knew what they were
doing - it made no difference to them
nor would any of our laws that they
chose not to follow...  and, when the
light go out at one, we sleep with one
eye open just in case they are outside.
