"Famine stricken his home land and no social standing in the economic pecking order

Hopefully strong enough to support her

Praying border patrols don't catch her and process and deport her

Before she reach the shore of the land of the free

Where they feed you, treat you like equals, deceive you, stamp you, and call you illegal"
