The Immigrant Anthem.

Post by Barman »

Illegal Immigrants Anthem







I cross ocean, poor and broke.

Take bus, see employment folk.



Nice man treat me good in there.

Say I need to see welfare.



Welfare say, 'You come no more, we send cash right to your door.'



Welfare cheques - they make you wealthy! NHS - it keep you healthy!



By and by, I get plenty money.

Thanks to you, you British dummy!



Write to friends in motherland.

Tell them 'come fast as you can.'



They come in turbans and Ford trucks,

And buy big house with welfare bucks!



They come here, we live together.

More welfare cheques, it gets better!



Fourteen families, they moving in,

but neighbour's patience wearing thin.

Finally, British guy moves away.

Now I buy his house, then I say,



'Find more immigrants for house to rent.'

And in the yard I put a tent.



Everything is very good,

and soon we own the neighbourhood.



We have hobby, it's called breeding. Welfare pay for baby feeding.

Kids need dentist? Wives need pills? We get free! We got no bills!

British crazy! They work all year, to keep the welfare running here.

We think UK darn good place.

Too darn good for British race!

If they no like us, they can scram. Got lots of room in Afghanistan !

i feel truthfully in all seriousness that if you migrate from one country to another you should do it legally and try to fit in in that country. immagrants of the past had to so should modern immagrants, you can go to a border crossing in most countries to apply for green cards or citizenship.i know that sounds bad but that is my oppinion, as far as the anthem, its a rude way of pointing out the immigration problems with most or all free nations, its amusing because almost everyone can relate to it, yet most areto shocked it was said to admit to it.:)

I can understand being angry when citizens of other nations enter ours and abuse our already over-burdened systems, but to take delight in denigrating their cultural customs is appalling. Punish and expunge them if you will, but please don't excoriate their cultures indiscriminately. It has an unpleasant fascist reek to it.

Given that the English themselves are an immigrant people, refreshed from time to time by influxes of Normans, French, Dutch, Scotch, Irish and French again before we even got to the 1950s and West Indian immigrants - who were invited in because we had a labour shortage - there's an element of hypocrisy here...

Anyway, the immigrants I know are hard working folk. I'm sure there are some scroungers, but they aren't typical. This little ditty pushes a very negative stereotype. Published by the BNP? Would suit their agenda, and it's just possible one of those evil, lying cretins could summon the brain power to write something with this level of sophistication.
The crowd: "Yes! We are all individuals!"

Lone voice: "I'm not."

But this place it won’t stop raining

Even immigrants are complaining

If rains for one more week

I think my patience will soon peak

The lack of sunshine is not funny

It’s not really worth the fecken money

Maybe where I came from not so bad,

I could just go back there instead.

It has been raining again today,

I think I will try the USA
