Immigration Man

I bought this on 45 rpm vinyl in March 1972 at the National Record Mart, with my lunch money.

I was 15.

My beliefs have not changed.

2. Saddest thing I've learned recently is that THOUSANDS die crossing the border each year...

After living in California for a while, it is hard to continue to look at our relatively inexpensive food the same way. Driving by seeing dozens of workers in the fields for what would be only a few dollars a day desperately seeking a better life.
Wouldn't we all do the same for our families?
Shouldn't we demand an end to the exploitation of their countries by the corporations so they don't have to risk their lives to move somewhere better?
Shouldn't we demand an end to the arms trade (one place where we are "Number 1&quot that destroys their peace?

Thanks for the post. I wish my views were never warped. In my late teens and early twenties I was fooled for a while by the need for "security". Then I found out that the "threat" from the USSR was overblown buffalo bagels.

3. Loved that song.

"Here I am, with my immigration form,
It's big enough to keep me warm, when the cold winds come in".....

As pertinent in 1972 as it is today. Even more so.

Thanks for posting. I haven't heard that song in ages. Those were the heady days of protests about everything, and so many things remain unchanged to this very day.

6. I agree

And hopefully there will always be good people willing to fight for justice.
