My President
Our President
Says we are safer
Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos is gone
Mother of two
Bad Hombre (Mujer)
Used false social security in get a job in 2008
Obviously, a dangerous criminal who former President Obama
allowed to stay.
“Enhancing public safety” the executive order states
Conviction of any criminal offense
Using fake Social Security number
Not leaving when ordered to do so
Coming from certain countries
Green card expired
Staying to take care of children or other family members.
Making money at legal job to send back to family in home country
DUI or other driving infraction.
We will be safer if all those are gone.
Perhaps we will be safer if United States citizens living in other countries
find it more difficult to get green cards, to join spouse sor to stay after student visas
have expired.
Perhaps we could all stay in our assigned places.
Perhaps we could go back several generations
Deporting all those who came without an official invitation.
Surely all the African Americans who came as slaves
should be sent back.
Are there lawyers, judges, doctors, Armed Forces members who
descend from criminals?
Come to think of it.
Perhaps no criminal deserves citizenship.
We already deny them the right to vote.
Who will take these bad Hombres (and mujers)?
These undesirables?
The good hombres/mujers know how to work the system
to make millions or billions keeping the worker bees employed
or provided with life-saving medications.
Who will be left to help make the rich richer?
Who will work the farms, buy the legal drugs, supply the gold faucets
of which some seem so proud.
How did my ancestors come to this country?
Perhaps coming before it was taken over by outcasts who stole the land from those
who were already here?
Surely, they too were once criminals.
What if we are all undesirables?
Was Pastor Martin Niemoeller right?
There was one left to stand up for him when he was arrested
and sent to camp.
Who will be left to stand up for us?
