His grandpa fled his country's draft.
He had to leave there mighty fast.
Escape would be to distant shores,
a place that opened many doors.
There still was something not quite right.
He needed one to share the light.
He risked the journey back to home,
because he felt so all alone.
He had to search without delay,
and, met his future wife that way.
Bavaria deported him,
back over here where he could win.
Returning with his wife in tow,
he used the chain migration flow,
became a sponsor for his wife
in efforts for a better life.
They had a son whose name was Fred,
who never had to feel such dread.
Descendants never felt the pain;
how hard it was to start again.
There were some nights when Fred just cried,
until that day he took his bride.
In ev'ry moment; was the chance,
that he could make her laugh and dance.
When Fred was twelve his father died,
at fifteen, mom became his guide.
Fred's wife was also foreign based,
and, chain migration was in place.
They lived in the United States,
so they could reap a better fate.
Fred's real estate then really boomed,
but, something else began to bloom.
The ugly face of racial choice,
discrimination found its voice.
He'd not allow the blacks to rent.
Paid fines but still would not repent.
Went into bus'ness with his son.
Together they would work as one.
A family of immigrants,
but, they're not forced to live in tents.
We welcomed them with open arms.
Our cops protected them from harm.
To other people fleeing war,
we will not take them anymore.
So, who's the product of this chain,
the man who causes migrants pain?
The migrants' children fret and weep.
Their parents cry themselves to sleep.
if Jesus came here from the south,
would he make Donald wash his mouth?
Would Jesus teach him anything,
convince him that he's not a king?
He doesn't feel for those in need,
forgets that chains produced his seed.
Three wives, a mother, grandma too,
and grandpa started life anew.
His grandpa's son became his dad,
his mom, a servant who was glad,
that chain migration sent her here,
and, gave to her a new career.
The freedom bells throughout the land,
now hide 'cause they don't understand.
His purpose now is very clear,
keep border migrants out of here.
