Semisonic’s famous 1998 song “Closing Time ” is about joy and possibilities and hope.

The White House video was posted across social media and shows a tattooed illegal immigrant being patted down by agents before being removed from the country.

“I think it sums up our immigration policy pretty well: You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here,'” White House press secretary says.
