Education and Immigration

I fear...
Not that my parents will disappear
but that they will be taken
Just because they ain't makin'...
enough money to stop being undocumented
ALL they want is for us to have an education
But we are limited because of immigration
My young brother doesn't understand
That we are unwanted in this land

My parents work for this land
Yet they say we should be banned
They come home tired and sore
Because they pick the vegetables that end up in the store

Today here, but we do not know about tomorrow
Tomorrow came and I miss them so
Deported
"It will be ok" they said
...
YES! It will because I'll go on with my education
Despite the immigration
DREAM ACT!!
