That would be appropriate if the xenophobes and racialist get their way. I don’t know the name of the tune or the band that performed it, but some of the lyrics were: “ ...This place / Ain’t nothin’/ But a ghost town...”

Remember when Iowa once enjoyed a rep as a decent place with good people and a good reputation? Another trade-off in the Age of Trump.
