Xenophobic Demagogery

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
