You Ask

You ask me, then
If I believe in securing our border
Securing America
And supporting law and order

I believe in securing
Yes, to secure is good
But if we're going to secure
Let's secure all that we should

I would secure the right
Of immigrants to seek freedom
I wouldn't chase them away
I'd tell them we need them

I'd secure them the right
To join their families here
To go to our churches
Without any fear

I'd secure them the blessing
Of work in our land
An honest day's labor
In a restaurant or as a cowhand

I'd secure them the right
To pursue the American dream
I'd make them our equals
Give them great esteem
