Abolish ICE

Cada ser humano se merece
La oportunidad de vivir, y prosperar
Derechos, respeto
Somos un pais de migrantes
No hace sentido excluir ni discriminar
Lo mejor es celebrar
Every single human being is equal
Your worth isn’t based on where you were born
Our strength lies in our diversity
Of experience
We do not need an institution
Dedicated to destroying families
Promoting racism, and traumatizing children
Abolish ICE!

Enrique

Enrique had no choice but to leave home
He set off on the journey all alone
Handful of pesos to call his own
Enrique, age 11, fully grown
And if you look into his eyes
You can see he’s lived a life
You’re glad you’ll never have to suffer
After the next line of cocaine
Do you think of the drug gang
That killed Enrique’s little brother?
The new prescription cost too much to fill
But just across the border they’ve got cheaper pills
Just bring your passport, babe come on, it’s chill
Hell, we can’t afford the bill
Just a half an hour drive
And another hour in line
We can even make it home for supper
Then 15 minute drive
Cross the imaginary line
Enrique waits behind with several others
Enrique met some other kids his age
When the ICE officer put him in a cage
Despite all my rage
Oppression has become all the rage
And if you look into his eyes
You can see he’s lived a life
You’re glad you’ll never have to suffer
After the next line of cocaine
Will you think of the drug gang
That killed Enrique’s little brother?
