Why canโ€™t we let them stay? โ€” They seem okay.
What message do you think that that would send? โ€”
That if you make it here then you can stay?
Why canโ€™t we let them stay? โ€” They seem okay.
Weโ€™ll soon see boats arriving every day,
If we donโ€™t send them back โ€” we mustnโ€™t bend!
Why canโ€™t we let them stay? โ€” They seem okay.
What message do you think that that would send?

ScoMo says no exceptions โ€” Tamil family to be deported

Capitulation

Invasions, back then, they meant war.
The bullets would fly โ€“ cannons roar.
But now come the orders:
โ€œLet them cross our borders,
Lay down your arms – open the door.โ€

Australian poet, Australian traditional poetry, Illegal immigrants, Obama's open door immigration policy, poem, poetry, Sanctuary cities, Sanctuary cities defy Trump

We say: โ€œGive us the ones who broke the law:
Your criminals; the thugs who crossed the sea,
And all who entered by the open door.
Let these, who left their homes, to safety flee;
Weโ€™ll light the way – Trump’s threats we will ignore.โ€

{with apologies to Emma Lazarus}
