A FOX IN THE WHITE HOUSE??

We let them cross our borders
By air and land and sea
While we pay for all those benefits
All those illegals get for free.

Even when we catch them
And we pay to ship them back
For every one there are two
To cross, take up the slack.

There’s nothing wrong with legals
Who come to work in the fields
And earn a little extra money
That the American way yields.

But seems our President
Lived in Texas far too long
Because those Texas ranchers
Don’t see anything wrong.

Been the same for generations
But, used to be under control
Though now millions cross the line
And hardly any pay the toll.

It not only hurts our Country
But those too, within the law
Who do it right and work hard
Now, the worst they ever saw.

If we don’t put a stop to it
Letting them in, sending jobs out
The rest the World will have it all
While we Americans go without.

The "New World Order"
Some in Power want to see
The death knell for Freedom
Is what the new order will be.

There’s some who will benefit
But, won’t be anyone we know
You best look to see it Coming
Before you look and see it Go.

Governments and Politicians
Around the World play the game
To turn it to “us” and “them”
To keep the poor just the same.

While cheap labor rushes in
American jobs are our out source
Just wait and watch and you’ll see
As our own ruin runs it’s course.

America, home of the Free
As we give all of it away
Support the World, except ourselves
For that’s the American Way.

(Not to mention the terrorists)

Excellent write and great commentary on the outsourcing of jobs and the weak borders.  Something needs to change or eventually there won't be anything left in America to be had by anyone.

And you made that statement poetical much better.

Abe, I fully agree.  And who the heck am I?  A Miami liberal... this issue unites many people from diverse backgrounds.  

The politics stink.

It would be fascinating if you were to make a poem of this quality about,say, -what would happen to our Walmart-cheap standard of living if, suddenly, our China trade were cut off by some political or global disaster.

We live so high off the hog.. hogs now, we Americans... living off the cheap labor of other nations.  We make nothing anymore but information.

thanks for the great political poem. sage stuff, sir.

Nice writing...I believe all of our employment needs could be met through the efforts of an orderly work program...as long as an employer has a job opening and waits a decent amount of time to fill the job...I see nothing wrong with offering the job to a resident of Mexico...as long as they enter legally and depart when the employment is terminated...I don't think any other country just lets people cross their borders or should I say invade our borders like the U.S....we need some Presidential leadership...we do have a legal way to enter this country in place, but many illegals have no desire to honor the laws of our land and our leaders are half-hearted in enforcing our laws...they say a double minded man is unstable in all of his ways...reminding me that I have to write to the President and my Congressmen again...ASAP...James

*sigh* we are all aliens, illegals...in some ways, if we go back far enough

this land is not our land
we own nothing
we are all renters here
squatter hens, we are

but we do have a jobs problem, a problem with greed setting our national agendas
time-after-time-after-time  

as always, you offer a pondering write
your pen name suits you well, Del
