Rescue of Sergeant Tahmooressi

One of our brave marines languishes in a Tijuana jail,

Sufferin' inhumane treatment, sans the right of bail!

Ain't it ironic that America treats illegals like welcome guests,

While our "neighbors" to the south treat our folks like inferior pests!

If I was runnin' things here is what I would damn well do:

I'd send in Seal Team Six to teach those thugs a thing or two!
