This is great! Thank you for linking it - I want to add this song to my running playlist now.

Gogol Bordello are fantastic, and their new album is the most diverse yet. And the lyrics are great, to boot. Good on them, all around.

This is the best thing I've seen in ages.

I love the video because it really captures an aspect of the modern immigrant experience that you don't hear enough about: it's weird as fuck to grow up in a country whose culture touts the way it generously receives the world's tired, poor, and huddled masses while being keenly aware that you or the people you love might lose everything you've spent years, even decades working for at any moment at the whim of some random government bureaucrat.

Also, here's a great PBS interview with the lead singer.
