Sanctuary Much - You're Not Welcome

   
     When President Eisenhower sent the troops to Little Rock
         in ’57 to enforce brand-new federal desegregation laws, you liberals didn’t object

      After all, Governor Faubus‘ states’ rights’ was a lawless Confederate anachronism
         an obsolete holdover from the racist South in the Civil War

      But now that DJT is trying to enforce long-standing immigration law in America
         you sanctuarians are up in arms, obstructing justice and invoking ‘states rights!!’ 
      the most revolting moniker I can think of

         ~ But then again, you’all are pretty revolting yourselves
