Here is a tribute to the immigration debate going on in the United States, as we celebrate the birthday of U.S., with a tip of the hat to Dr. Suess’ Butter Battle Book<\/em>, where the conflict was over and between those who butter their bread on the up side versus those who butter their bread on the down side.<\/p>\n

The Innies and Outies of the Birthday of US<\/span><\/p>\n

Go forth Julio<\/span>
\nA nay sayin’ of immigrants<\/span>
\nA fraud of crossing the stream of history<\/span>
\nOverlooking the rio<\/span>
\nGrand<\/span>
\nParent of us all<\/span>
\nPissing off a thousand generations<\/span>
\nBordering on the mad<\/span>
\nSomeone with a pitchfork<\/span>
\nAside a woman with a torch<\/span>
\nAsking only for what just US demands<\/span>
\nGive me you tard<\/span>
\nYou’re poor<\/span>
\nYou’re huddled masses<\/span>
\nEarning to breathe<\/span>
\nFree<\/span>
\nThe wretched<\/span>
\nRefuse<\/span>
\nOf your teaming<\/span>
\nSure<\/span>
\nWe herd you<\/span>
\nDividing as you multiply<\/span>
\nSeparating those who may be bonded<\/span>
\nDue to accidents of birth<\/span>
\nStill born of dis chord<\/span>
\nWile won for all<\/span>
\nHominies forgotten<\/span>
\nAnd little southern comfort<\/span>
\nFor hospitalities stolen<\/span>
\nFore what fills their belly<\/span>
\nWhether buttoning up<\/span>
\nWhether buttoning down<\/span>
\nIn discriminating<\/span>
\nThe INS<\/span>
\nAnd OUTS<\/span>
\nOf segregation<\/span>
\nOf immigration<\/span>
\nOf crossing boarders<\/span>
\nSojourning on<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
