(wait a minute)
borderlands edition
2018
once fear
takes hold
it spreads like fire
all consuming
seemingly alive
and unstoppable.
i am not immune.
and neither are you.
i can almost hear
the horseman rattle
as the stampede decends
“the mexicans are coming!”
The MEXICANS are COMING
“Now!”
“Build a wall!”
“Man the **** deck!”
“Take the children!”
i’m no *****
if the POTUS is screaming
to take cover from
ms-13,
i listen.
here’s the key, people.
listen.
research.
react.
don’t do it in any other order.
my elementary teachers
taught me about primary
and secondary sources.
i’ve been practicing
my entire life.
and i can tell you,
that immigration from the
southern border has been in
a steady decline for
a decade.
the POTUS’S own people
identified less than
200 ms-13 gang members caught
illegally going over the border.
immigrants are less likely
to commit crimes than
the rest of the population.
listen. - research -
and only then,
