I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die

For example, sustaining a mass deportation operation over a decade—with an objective of deporting 1 million people per year—would have a price tag of approximately $88 billion annually, totaling nearly $968 billion over 10 years.
