IF ONE MORE BOT ANSWERS OR SOMEONE WITH SOMETHING THAT ISN'T THE ANSWER TO SAY, I WILL EXPLODE. I originally asked this question for 100 points, but yall ruined that for yourselves. This is why we can't have nice things.


"Immigrant Eyes"
Oh Ellis Island was swarming
Like a scene from a costume hall
Decked out in the colors in Europe
And on fire with the hope of it all
There stood my father's own father stood huddled
With the tired and hungry and scared
Turn of the century pilgrims
Bound by the dream that they shared
They were standing in lines just like cattle
Poked and prodded and shoved
Some were one desk away from sweet freedom
Some were torn from someone they love
Through this sprawling tower of Babel
Came a young man confused and alone
Determined and bound for America
And carryin' everything that he owned

Sometimes when I look in my grandfather's Immigrant Eyes
I see that day reflected and I can't hold my feelings inside
I see starting with nothing and working hard all of his life
So don't take it for granted say grandfather's Immigrant Eyes


Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.
-Rudyard Kipling, 1898


We’ve take up the white man’s burden
Of ebony and brown;
Now will you kindly tell us Rudyard,
How we may put it down?
-New York World (1899) Quoted in Thomas A. Bailey, A Diplomatic History of the American People, 8th ed. (NY: Appleton Century Crofts, 1969), 478.
