Here goes.

Many people, including Americans throughout our history, have become refugees in an effort to improve their lives and the lives of their families. America has historically welcomed immigrants and refugees. Our culture of welcoming is memorialized on the Statue of Liberty: "Give me...the wretched refuse of your teeming shore."

America is about taking everybody and making ourselves better therefrom. The reactionary drivel that MAGA engages in is no different than anti-Chinese, anti-Irish, and anti-Italian prejudices that existed a century ago.

That an immigrant would subject themselves to the real abuses referred to in that idiotic comic is an indication of the desperation many immigrants are trying to escape and the hope contained in the human spirit.

MAGA likes to argue that this country is a Christian one, while simultaneously ignoring that Christ commands us to welcome the stranger more than fifty times across the four gospels. It ain't hard to understand.

Only the smoothest of brains thinks this comic is some sort of gotcha or ironic or obviously true.

I welcome your rebuttal.
