The I.C.E. Man Cometh*
I am not talking about Jerry Butler’s song
but the real fear illegal aliens face all day long
Hanging over them like the sword of Damocles is the threat of deportation
from our ungrateful nation
Because of Racial indifference as in O’Neil’s play
which is our “reality” here in America today
The System uses the law to mask hate
and to slow down the USA’s eventual fate
Because come 2040 the US will no longer have a White majority
and the tables will turn in favor of the current POC minority
With the end of DACA some are being forced out of the only place they ever called home
I pray someday they will find Shalom
but the real fear illegal aliens face all day long

You've got a great write-up here.
So I guess Uncle Scam signed an executive order prohibiting the Air Force Academy from teaching about the Tuskegee airmen. Therefore, I figured I'd use my time on Racebook to click on all the African American stuff I can find, to fuck with the algorithms, and maybe learn something new doing it.
