The Day Without A Mexican

A poem regarding the clear downfalls of President Trump's border wall and immigration ideas, and the benefits of Mexican immigration.

Picture this day, if you can- The day without a Mexican. Imagine America devising a plan On what to do after an immigration ban Now that no one crosses the border There won’t be anyone to take your order Since illegal immigration has been blocked Your store’s shelves are no longer stocked Your home’s roof will never be boarded For all illegals have been deported

Since their entry has been thwarted

No agricultural product can be exported

All illegals were sent back to Mexico

So your front yard’s leaves won’t be blown

There won’t be anyone to fix the roads

Or any person to reap or sow

Therefore, if we try to build a wall

Or make sure to deport all

Illegal immigrants, our economy will fall

Millions of jobs will be vacated- no one can take them all

If we fulfill the wishes of the Klan

And picture the day, if we can

A disastrous time for the economy and for each American-

The day without a single Mexican
