Zach Gehring discussed the timely track,
stating, “The separation of families at the border, and the policies
that underscore recent activities targeting families from Mexico,
Central, and South America, and US citizens are completely backwards and
unquestionably cruel. Immigration policies and the inhumane treatment
of people of all ages demands a response.” He continues to say “any
action that can help thwart or slow down what is happening. This song is
was motivated by an attempt to critique the gap between immediacy and
reflection – the immediacy and urgency for those threatened by these
policies versus the reflective and abstract media commentary and
discourse that privileged people (like us) engage in and respond to
earnestly.”
