Dolly Parton addressed politics in her music, despite saying it wasn't her focus. One example is her inclusion of "Deportee" in the album "9 to 5 and Odd Jobs". This song stands out as one of the few times she explicitly addressed politics in her work.
The reason behind Parton's decision to include "Deportee" is not known, as she never revealed her motivation.
Further details about Parton's music and her stance on politics can be found in the original source.
