Then they came..
Here’s the original…
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
--MARTIN NIEMÖLLER


Here’s my version…

First they came for the African Americans, and I did not speak out—because I was not an African American.
Then they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out— because I was not an immigrant.
Then they came for the Democrats, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Democrat.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
