Tainted Cilantro From Mexico

We all know that our border with Mexico is not secure
With no credible acts by this Administration for our safety to insure
Drugs and felons coming across in a steady stream
Intermingled with those aliens trying to grab a small piece of the American Dream
Today we find there are so more unwanted guests
Increase the list of the flow of unwanted we need to arrest
The U.S. is an agricultural power house with billions of dollars if food to Mexico to export
But we also grace our dinner tables and grocery shelves with billions of Mexican food imports
Now we find that for four years that cilanatro from Mexico is contaminated from human fecal waste
Cyclosporiasis that you cannot wash away, cannot see and unfortunately cannot taste
Mexican workers working in the growing fields
No toilets present when to the bowel movement one has to yield
380 cases and mounting, a lot of diarrhea, nausea and fatigue but no fatal cases
Just another example of the danger when third world sanitation policies our food sources embrace
To put the disease in a humorous light
As its sufferers are racing to their bathrooms in the middle of the night
Since a vacation in Mexico includes a tourista side trip
Stay at home, save the money, have some cilantro yet experience the tourista grip
