CATCH AND RELEASE<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

Man, it is really just so crazy,
\nThey call it catch and release,
\nIllegals flowing in by millions,
\nWhen will the madness cease?<\/p>\n

Why do we even have a border,
\nOr spend billions on that wall,
\nIf Uncle Sam will not stop them,
\nNo, he is doing very little at all.<\/p>\n

So in come dangerous people,
\nSome will be accused of rape,
\nOthers will murder Americans,
\nFor us there is just no escape.<\/p>\n

I really don\u2019t understand this,
\nIt makes absolutely zero sense,
\nOur government must keep \u2018em,
\nOn the other side of that fence.<\/p>\n

But if they fail to do their duty,
\nThey are traitors to our nation,
\nSo just kick them out of office,
\nFor not fulfilling their obligation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
