The Love Song Of Tom Tancredo

Artemio’s listening to Tancredo*
rave against the illegals
on CNN with Lou Dobbs.

Artemio can’t help but chuckle
especially when he remembers
the story his brother told him

not that long ago.
Here it is in a nutshell:
Artemio’s brother

works for a Raytheon subcontractor
in north Texas,
making missile components,

and out of the nearly four hundred workers
at this defense department subcontractor,
well over eighty percent speak only Spanish.

Artemio turns back to the TV,
and by this time, Tancredo and Dobbs
are foaming at the mouth.

*Ironically, Tancredo and Dobbs
both own Raytheon stock.
