Heil - the American Nationalist Greeting

After you pass our barbwire gates
Welcome to the United States!
A non-white face
Gets sprayed with Mace
But if you have cash, we'll be mates!

Sadly this is too true. Being in a mixed marriage we have regretfully noticed. Good one Rico! : )

It might sound unbelievable but only just 15 minutes ago, we were discussing Trump, and my husband believes that Trump could easily one day be compared to Hitler! Well written Rico, Yasou, Jennifer

The truth stings, but it needs to be said, and you said it very well-

With all the years he lived in New York, it is astonishing Trump never read the words on the Statue of Liberty, isn't it? Aloha! Rico

You said it, Rico. That image of two little girls and their mother running from tear gas at the border is now said to be circulating the globe. So very sad. We have lost our place in the world. Wonderfully written! Carolyn

Trump ought to visit the Statue of Liberty and see the words etched in stone have more value than all of his tweets combined! Aloha! Rico
