IMMIGRATION PLANS
Trump has plans … many horrid plans
He plans to double down demands
Should he win the next election
Plans would follow his inspection
Target ONE on immigration
What a plan … a big sensation
Round up the undocumented
Put in holding camps, some tented
Back to banning mostly Muslims
Keep out migrants, too … our cousins
Declare “the dirty” have TB
Or sick, infectious … some disease
He’ll push them out, and make it stick
Without due process … hearing quick
He’ll scour the country, order raids
Send out his law enforcement aides
He’ll use some redirected funds
Declare immigrants on the run
He’ll spend much more on this conceit
“Operation Wetback” sneaks
As Xenophobic demagogue
Clearly with Stephen Miller’s mob
Planning an enormous crackdown
A.C.L.U. will not be found
Trump’s Admin will have no restraints
His powerful actions, no complaints
Trump’s sycophants will be loyal
FIRED … if spoken words disloyal
Autocratic acts illegal
Rip apart our golden eagle
Violate basic civil rights
America trashed … spurned with this blight
