Refugees for Canada
by
James Bredin
Trudeau forgot Canadians when they wrote the Charter for humanity.
After seeing the conceited Soviets with all their Socialist vanity
And now thousands of phony refugees are footing it over here,
On Air Canada flights every night to the Canadian frontier
See their free lawyers, truly a misnomer, and get their refugee kits
Information received on laptops in Canadian-immigration hits
Then they get translators and welfare and medicare and more
Free housing forever with no rogue refugee could ignore
And then they use their cells to phone home and pass the word
That here in Canada they are welcome -- nay truly preferred
And these rogue refugees with their many wives and kids
With leather luggage piled high on the many landing skids
Move to motels up and down and all along the Kingston Road
While they e-mail digital photos to their friends to download
And of course their friends are delighted and elated by the news
That Canadian immigration is so dumb and so easy to confuse
And they too call their many wives, kids, relatives and friends
And someone to drive them to the airport in the Mercedes Benz
But Canadian Immigration is bound by Chretien’s Charter
Written and can’t be changed since the days of Jimmy Carter.
