Nineteen year-old college student, Nadia Habib, may soon be sent back to Bangldesh along with her mother. Nadia, who was brought to the United States as a baby, would be leaving behind her father – who has a green card – and her three siblings who were born in this country and are thus US citizens.
Facing Exile
Nadia and her mother
May return to Bangladesh.
Despite Dad and Nadia’s siblings
It seems the two don’t mesh.
It appears the two are threatened
By the Immigration “vice”;
They’d like to stay and work here,
And are asking help from ICE.
They hope they’ll get to stay here,
But they face a “last hurrah”;
Their chances may be better
If one was, well, like – the Shah.
