RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: IMMIGRATION
Gringo Go Home
Up north they want the border closed
Down south they’re beginning to see
Both sides want the change to slow
They’re not sure what to plead
The northerners are moving in
The cost of housing on the rise
The locals lose, the landlords win
When they cater to the gentrified
The workers cannot pay the rent
They being pushed aside
Their patience is being spent
Not much longer will they ride
It’s happening across the board
On both sides of the border
It strikes on a rebellious chord
And triggers law and order
The people rise up everywhere
Their anger springs from fear
You don’t want our workers there?
We don’t want your money here!
(Massive protests in Mexico City)
