"Hi baby, Ola mi amiga, Como esta? Here now, every one of the whitest people is mad now, mostly old nice people are not nice anymore, they might be nice while the guy takes you to the dirt in their yard to pull at and maybe burn something that you might have had growing in the garden to eat at home, but not here, it is poisonous usually from our sprayers. If we don't leave right after work, after we fix their garden gazebos and dig their holes they call the cops on us for waiting in our cars too long and for being Mexicans being dirty"
" We are honest so it is easy to trap us, they are getting us more and more, they are mad at us all the time now."
" I am making money working where I am because no one else will, I do not know why, so I get two jobs and a bed in a room in a nice apartment. For more reasons I do not know, it is very hard to stay out of sight even if you are quiet, they are looking for us now.
They are mad at us for coming here.
The apartment has a bathroom and a kitchen, sometimes .....when people don't have to live in there. Then, we go to the gas station or the 7/11 and sneak into theirs.."
They are always looking for us now

| a man needs a maid, right? |
When they find our next spot and la migra gets us, we will be home on a big plane after a stay in the ice box for a month without a blanket, are the kids still in there with Uncle Pedro and Tia Consuela?"
I know it is deeper than the simplistic picture I prefer, that's because I know that 95% of the people fleeing to our border to get saved are fine fine folks, they would like to ask someone questions on how to get straightened out but you gotta be careful, you get trapped, the law is against you probably, you never know, never.
I know how that feels, use up everything you have to get a chance and then, fuck, you get caught and sent back or worse, burn up in the desert while buzzards watch and the sheriff laughs.
***I used to feel pride about the all-inclusiveness in our constitution, my understanding of it was sparkling and as whistley white as anyone, I figured out on my own that America, being as great as all that, just let everyone come over here and have a good American life, early propaganda casually assumed because, hey!!, this is America, if it's right we're doing it, right?? We are, it is us who is right, major honest, Abe Lincoln, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, we will kill you, commie bastards...
We were patriotic little farts in the camp, we had no idea what cannon fodder even meant, never mind nuanced
I found out when I read it and asked a couple of questions, that it said that "we the people" considered people I knew, know, and love to be less than human in the original, the 3\5 ruling...that got fixed on paper, but what about civil rights now, uh oh....divisions of "government" danced in my head, like the lollipops in Charlies Factory
Refugees now, political violence, kidnapping killers in the bathroom, waiting.... dodging, terrified people of all sizes, and the soothing of their souls as they reach the golden sanctuary where if you kept your head down and worked and stayed low they at least wouldn't kick you out. Planes back to their old place still holding plenty of the old fear and fire and the kind of poverty that is almost pure in its crushing and unrelenting, back in four hours, someone is waiting already, they still owe them, you know who, and.... it took three months to get almost to the edge of some rumor or legend of hope, somewhere, unless you risk you and your kid's life sneaking in, you must deal with the man and that man works for the bigger man, so he says you don't blame me, I need my job, talk to the bigger man****
yeah, go talk to him
corporations of hate and fear will build some more and buy a lot more deport planes, build another cage, special ones for group visits, sit on the floor
show them motherfuckers, buy another AR-15, fucking government
the government will sell you your new one, inspected and qualified,Amerikan
you can only buy ammo from psychiatrists though, you can use a cap gun without a license, squirt guns are not allowed in the capitol
hate breeds hate and it buys those fucking planes with its filthy money
work for the cage
fly the plane
aim the gun
pay for it?
you are lost,
you have forgotten what you are,
what has gotten in you now is the worst shit in the world
you are cooperating with evil
nothing, nothing gets away with that,
you better straighten out
lose them bad brains all around and until then
please don't come over here
there might be trouble
