shows ten thousand people
in one day
from
other countries
illegally crossing the border,
knee deep in
the river,
cutting through the coils
of barbed wire.
they have back packs.
kids in hand.
they want out
of whatever hell they were
once stuck in.
come on in, we tell them.
make yourself at home.
food, no problem,
shelter, you want a job,
okay. we got this.
this is the land of opportunity.
come on aboard.
give us your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses
yearning to be free,
there's always room for more.
