Our humane government

Happy birthday, Omar
you turn 18 today.
You came here in a leaky boat
when you were only three.

We are not heartless monsters,
but here's our cunning plan:
you are allowed to settle here
'til you become a man, 

So blow out all your candles, 
enjoy your cake, then pack.
We'll ship you to Rwanda
and you won't be coming back.
