Bigoted politicians claim that immigration is unemployment's source

So the INS are given unending power to enforce
B C# D C# B B C# D
The restrictions regulated by immigrants descendants
B C# D C# C# G C# G
Who project open border policies as national resentments
B C# D C# B B C# D
Unwilling to provide the same opportunities they've been given
B C# D C# C# G C# G
To desperate refugees whose passage has been forbidden
B C# D C# B B C# D
By a government who's often reponsible for their countries situation
B C# D C# C# G C# G
But they just intensify the suffering by restricting immigration
[Chorus]
F# Fb F# A F# A B A
Restrict immigrants from crossing a line

Keeping foreign labor in an economical cage

B
Creating xenophobia is another tactic in which our leaders have managed
B
To redirect blame to someone other than themselves or big business
B
The media lap up the reports of increasing poverty, unemployment, welfare and Government aid
B C# D C# B C# D
Supposedly caused by refugees
B C# D C# B C# D
While largely ignoring the countless reports of rapes, beating and
B C# D C# B C# D
Harassment by the INS and US border patrols
B C# D C# B C# D
Not to mention American servicemen actually crossing the Mexican border to rape women
B C# D C# B C# D
Or New York police Officers gang raping a Haitian immigrant with a plunger
B C# D C# B C# D
These atrocities occur because xenophobia has instilled the thinking
B C# D C# B C# D
That refugees are problems and not people
B
Xenophobia kills
[Verse 3]
B C# D C# B B C# D
Patriotism plants the seeds of ignorance and hate
B C# D C# C# G C# G
Destroying the people and all compassion to protect the state
B C# D C# B B C# D
Every person is entitled to live, no human should be banned
B C# D C# C# G C# G
It only benefits the wealthy to own a piece of land
B C# D C# B B C# D
It only divides the people by the borders, by the countries
B C# D C# C# G C# G
It's only another obstacle blocking any chance of equality
B C# D C# B B C# D
We've got to smash their walls our efforts must persist
B C# D C# C# G C# G
We've got to wake the people up to see what they've dismissed
