From Florida to Texas, from the San Fernando fields,
from meat plants in Nebraska and warehouses of windshields;
trabajadores are remitting home their sweat-encrusted yields.
La Paz has many mothers, as Tampico has its tias,
getting their pozole from the land of muchas frias.
Sons and daughters from Campeche keep such warm ideas.
Norteamericanos, if your places were reversed,
WOULD you be as willing to have your pay so disbursed?
(Gringos by warm sentiment have never been coerced!)
