Some of us are illegal, and others not wanted,
Our work contract’s out and we have to move on;
Six hundred miles to the Mexican border,
They chase us like rustlers, like outlaws, like thieves.
The Highwaymen did a cover as well, there was a live video of them doing it but looks like it go taken down. Oh well, here’s the album version. https://youtu.be/awKLW7WgGB8?si=NYmH5ppYlhTE_wp6

On my way north for a bit, stopping at the Eagle River Roasters - the first small business I have seen to advertise (prominently, with explanation) a surcharge for tariffs. Wonder if others have noticed this is Illinois.

If Coca Cola stops using high fructose corn syrup in its signature beverage will that impact Illinois agribusinesses?
