Abstract
The purpose of this annotation is to raise awareness of the extreme restrictions in U.S. immigration law via a poetic outlet. It explores the juxtaposition of the promises of America with the reality under U.S. immigration laws. It delineates the various categories of “undesirables” that the United States aims to exclude and remove. Finally, it aims to begin to demystify U.S. immigration laws to show the extreme restrictions placed on immigrants.
