Trump trumpets decree to target then deport

Trump trumpets decree to target then deport...

visa a vis militaristic plan 
a boot 15-20 million people -
undocumented hard working Americans 
(maybe some living here legally) forcibly, 
and violently shipped out,
when victoriously, surreptitiously,
and purportedly illegally entering 
our ports of the world wide web.

Though born, bred, and raised here 
in the U S of A (The 'short a' /æ/),
I feel aghast how the 
de facto dictator wannabe
shakes a fist and forbids those people 
clamoring to become bonafide citizens 
(and generally escaping mayhem
in their respective country of origin)
entering one supposed, enchanted, 
and blessed land of life, liberty, 
and the pursuit of happiness,
to become punishingly ousted 
should other than Kamala Harris 
and Tim Walz acquire 
the presidential/vice presidential 
vote of confidence.

No secret the Don will abrogate,
his strict ban barring 
employees to acclimate
themselves, to live within United States
legal tender, and accommodate
themselves comfortably anonymous,
though "NOT FAKE," but accurate
reliable, trustworthy, et cetera
resources who did activate

my awareness, his hired hands 
never received adequate
pay if any, 
(perhaps greater than minimum wage),
despite the fact he 
does vehemently administrate,
adulterate presidential decrees, and thus
passively advocate, those supposed:
intruders, marauders, and pillagers

(rapists thrown in for good measure),
thus being party to affiliate
with contrary doctrine makes
him more than a flagrant hypocrite
since such migrant fiasco does aggravate 
me as well as innocent lives that aggregate
within a country, whose motto
 rather than alienate
purportedly offered sanctuary:

"Give me your tired, your poor, 
your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free, 
the wretched refuse
of your teeming shore."

No excessive effort needed to insulate,
expedite and ameliorate
the woeful plight of ordinary peoples,
whose culture club, those very
governments aim to annihilate
driving a figurative wedge (gee),
I decided to annunciate
(a spurious whim),
 and suspensefully anticipate
if affection toward 
asylum seekers will arise

decrying duplicitous action (exhibited by
Janus faced courtesy former commander in chief), 
undoubtedly other citizens do not appreciate
(minus the bajillion dollars purposelessly
allocated to erect a skyhigh wall,
when more humanely appropriate
measures beg attention at
less expense I aver and approximate
and avoid unfairly 
incriminating, but to arbitrate
(with some degree of justice) pitted

toward migrants flagrant 
human rights violation,
those in power arrogate,
and wield for the luxury, 
exploitation and convenience
of those wealth mongers, 
who fail to articulate,
how when families 
get forcibly rent asunder 
fallout does asphyxiate
the human species 
far from madding crowd 
in toto including
Dorothy, Cowardly Lion, 
Tin Woodman and Strawman.
