BASKET OF DEPORTABLES
\n\u201cIf you come to our home the right way,
\nFriendly strangers, you\u2019re welcome to stay;
\nIf you try to sneak in,
\nYou\u2019ll be sent back again:
\n\u2018Bon voyage!\u2019 and \u2018Have an ICE day!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

FAMILY VALUES
\n\u201cYou\u2019re a member of the Left to me \u2013
\nA brother, uncle, nephew, see?
\nYou can rape my wife
\nOr take my life:
\nIt\u2019s okay if you\u2019re a \u2018refugee.\u2019\u201d
\n(2017)<\/p>\n

MENDING WALL
\nThere\u2019s no need to rattle sabers
\nJust because we\u2019re checking papers:
\nWe will build a wall
\nTo screen them all
\n\u2018Cause good fences make good neighbors.
\n(2017)<\/p>\n

E PLURIBUS
\nOur last names may be Hess, Hock, or Harrigan,
\nFederov, Feldstein, or Farrakhan,
\nMacDonald, Mandina,
\nNguyen, Wong, Kim, or Pena,
\nBut we\u2019re one and we\u2019re all all-American.
\n(2016)<\/p>\n

DREAMERS FROM MY FATHERLAND
\n\u201cPeople say I pursue my goals sneakily
\nOr, exceeding my powers, act regally,
\nBut I\u2019ve done what I\u2019ve done
\n\u2018Cause I feel myself one
\nWith the folks who have come here illegally.\u201d
\n(2015)<\/p>\n

PRESIDENT EVIL
\nOpen borders and mass immigration<\/span>,
\nHomosexual indoctrination,
\nRacial riots and war:
\nThat\u2019s what he has in store,
\nThat\u2019s Obama\u2019s macabre \u201ctransformation.\u201d
\n(2014)<\/p>\n

VISITORS
\nIf you\u2019re in someone\u2019s home as a guest,
\nTry to see that your host is impressed:
\nDon\u2019t do anything wrong
\nAnd don\u2019t stay overlong
\nOr in any way act like a pest.
\n(2014)<\/p>\n

WELCOME TO AMERICA
\n\u201cYou illegally crossed our border?
\nYou\u2019re a drugs and weapons importer?
\nYou\u2019re a sociopath
\nSpewing venomous wrath?
\nYes, everything seems in order<\/span>.\u201d
\n(2002)<\/p>\n

TWO-WAY TRAFFIC
\nIt came as an inspiration,
\nThe solution to mass immigration<\/span>:
\nFor each incoming worker,
\nDeport one native shirker
\nTo some socialist paradise nation.
\n(2001)<\/p>\n

BLANK LIKE ME
\nCensus takers who tally my head
\nWill not know if I\u2019m black, white, or red:
\nBecause, in the space
\nTo designate race,
\nI\u2019ll inscribe the word \u201chuman\u201d instead.
\n(2000)<\/p>\n

PREFIXATION<\/span>
\nAdding Euro- and Afro- won\u2019t do:
\nEthnic conflict will only ensue.
\nNo hyphen for me:
\nI\u2019m happy to be
\nAn American through and through.
\n(1998)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

HOGGWASH
\n\u201cReceive our wisdom, peasants,
\nAnd be grateful for our presence
\nAs your benefactors,\u201d
\nSay anchors and actors,
\nAthletes, and adolescents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
