Immigration Art and Poetry

Poems:

“The New Colossus“ by Emma Lazurus (1883)

“El Illegal” by anonymous (date unknown)

How beautiful is the United States.
Illinois, California and Tennessee.
But over in my country,
A piece of the sky belongs to me.
Good-by, Laredo, Weslaco and San Antonio.
Houston and Dallas are in my song.
Good-by El Paso, I am back, Chamizal.
Your friend, the illegal, has returned.

“Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)“ by Woody Guthrie (1948)
