We might all be wetbacks

Yes even you

You a wetback

In Trump’s Mind.

Nothing can be that perfect

So lets try to be a little less perfect

Lets try to be the Republic of those that

Might even risk believing in such a thing

I was born to those who still believe in this Country

And I hope you join me.
