Immigration Nation
You have got to be kidding me
You want to send someone back, as a refugee
Someone, who helped us, become, what we are
Someone, who helped us, go quite far
It is ignoble, at best
Without direction, or even some kind of test
To say to this people, "you must go home"
Speaks a swagger, as if from Rome
There is better politics
Show them the rules, then sign the agreement they pick
Such an honorable people to now
Displacement, is simply not how
!

Mexicans received thirty Congressional Medals of Honor, for their performance, during WWII.
