Most analysts would agree that if all the undocumented immigrants in California were deported in one day, our state would experience a severe economic downturn. This does not even consider the many cultural and spiritual gifts these immigrants bring to our state and nation.

with eyes closed
rugged hands holding a Bible
against his chest
the migrant prays to God
in his adopted tongue

Be Loyal To The Native

Immigrants integrated with the natives,
have lost identity and enmity.
Immigrants segregated from the natives.
have kept identity and enmity.

Tamils not knowing their language in Mauritius
Live in harmony, getting no prejudice.
Tamils with Tamil intact in Sri Lanka
Live in tension with the majority.

But the advice was not taken - Johnstone did emigrate to Canada, and did mortgage his pension; and I fear - though I failed to trace his after history - that he suffered in consequence.

Her tempting perfume for a platonic love

The old forbidden citadel area; A persona scares to touch the electrified fence.
And the double chin emigrant who rechecks the meaning of 'Love & endanger' in his new encyclopaedia.

Away from Home are some and I—

821

Away from Home are some and I—
An Emigrant to be
In a Metropolis of Homes
Is easy, possibly—

The Habit of a Foreign Sky
We—difficult—acquire
As Children, who remain in Face
The more their Feet retire.

The ideal woman

Let us immigrate like birds
Looking for homeland
You are a woman
But you are not as all women
You are the homeland
You are a woman from among
Women of the world
The world …where is the world?
The world is a cave.full of nymphs
And you are the nymph of this world
I will write about you
Till I make you a saint...
