Untitled, Unwanted, Undocumented

January 31, 2019

Who are you to decide who I am?

Because you really described us to the last detail

Of course we illegal immigrants want to come and cause violent crimes

Of course we want to harm your children

Of course we want to go to your country and ship illegal drugs to your suburbs

Of course we want to form gangs and kill and rape your people

This is what we plan in a secret bunker in Mexico, called operation “No E-speak Ingles”

If our crimes don’t work out, we’ll just sit around and collect your welfare

We are aliens that are going to invade your country and then whole world!

We will start by taking the back breaking jobs you people desperately claim to be yours

We will take every chance we get to make your lives horrible

We will take every chance to speak

We will not be silenced nor will we be told who we are

I think the illegal immigrants that you’re describing, are the original colonizers of this country

You don’t fit in our shoes, you don’t have a say in who we are, you don’t know us

We are undocumented doctors, scholars, teachers, engineers, scientists, and anything you can be

We are not scared to be who we want to become

So again, who are are you to decide who I am?
