the tale of two thieves, my friends even.
One a red headed white American boy in 30's
the other a Mexican woman in 50's
Both theives, crooks, stole something, not from me.
They didn't know each other. Their crimes were not at the same time.
The American dad has been in a cage since January.
The Mexican mom has been given a free trip to Mexico and freedom.

1But merciless wrath assailed the wicked until the end,
for God knew beforehand what they were yet to do:a
2That though they themselves had agreed to the departure
and had anxiously sent them on their way,
they would regret it and pursue them.b
3For while they were still engaged in funeral rites
and mourning at the burials of the dead,
They adopted another senseless plan:
those whom they had driven out with entreaties
they now pursued as fugitives.c
