Notes About The Poem

I Am Anaya inspired 

During the Great Depression,work was so hard to get, that those harvesting our food were sent back to Mexico--until they were needed again. An old story! 

GO, NO STAY

GO, NO—STAY Deport those filthy illegals, go call the cops! But not the brown losers who are picking our crops We won’t tell them to go Who else would stoop so low? And it would cause inflation in our grocery shops

Pretty sad this world Robert. Always taking advantage whether they are exploited children in foreign lands or those that will do the job that we feel it's beneath us. Great message you are sending here. I applaud you for it...

I'm impressed RG. The video will tell the story of what it was like when deportation took its toll "used and mistreated". Greed! It's about to happen again and won't stop there, everyone gone! Wait until there's no more agriculture. Humor helps to get the point across. Good one, hombre! I Am

We could sure use a song writer like Woody Gutherie today, in these turbulent times. Words appreciated, Robert

No doubt about it Robert they (filthy illegals) certainly do the dirty work in most countries, A lot of multinational sub-subcontractors are making a lot of money on the back of these people, and yes we do get cheaper produce in the shops, got to say you pull no punches here, I mean if it wasn’t a limerick it would be funny, you know what I mean by that! a sobering biting piece of sarcasm executed perfectly, cheers David

Spot on David. In California, where the San Juaquin Valley provides most of our nation's produce, the hierocracy has been painfully transparent. Agri-business gets all the cheap (illegal) aliens they want. Of course, this is just fine with Trump and his ilk's. Thanks for the visit. Chin-up, Robert
