State a theme of the poem “Borderbus.” Cite evidence from the poem to support that theme.

In the introduction to the book, Carmen Giménez Smith writes, “As a vehicle, metaphorical and literal, the bus changes forms throughout the poem. First it is hope, battered by the often-torturous trip to the States, weary but holding on to a thin sliver of hope. And to the nameless American nationalist obstructionist mobs and patrols, it is the alien vessel carrying encroaching human beings, often unwilling exiles forced out of their country because of ruinous U.S policy. This does not quell the tide, nor does it dampen the persistent optimism of the migrant. The poet writes:

No somos nada y venimos de la nada

pero esa nada lo es todo si la nutres de amor

por eso venceremos

We are nothing and we come from nothing

but that nothing is everything, if you feed it with love

that is why we will triumph

We are everything hermana

Because we come from everything.

it means that people are present over there who cares for us who loves us and we are never alone there is always a supporting hands behind us so never lose your hope and confidently move ahead to get success in your life.if you make mistakes there are people to make it correct
