They’re coming to America!

They’ve been coming a long time.

Some were brought here without a choice.

Some choose to come.

Children have no choice!

Sometimes we honor them…

Often they feel threatened!

They come in families.

They come alone.

They come to learn.

They come to work!

“We are hard workersNot
