Of all the incomprehensibilities spewing out of the red-state Trumpian geyser, MAGA, or 'Make American Great Again' is the first and foremost. It Trumps 'Lock Her Up', and 'Build that Wall', or even 'Fake News'.
MAGA implies that America WAS great at one time, but currently is NOT. And that Trump, or the populist but thoughtless movement of which he is the leader and symbol, can make it great AGAIN.
This is ironic and doesn't make sense, given that the self-same supporters of MAGA are the first to cry 'America is the Greatest country on Earth', and claim that millions of immigrants want to come and partake of that greatness.
So what is it? Are we Great or Not Great?
Of course, I'm kidding. I know the MAGA movement is really saying that Americans of primarily caucasian lineage living 'traditional' lifestyles and wrapped in a familiar religion are what makes America great, and anything or anybody displaying different values would undermine that greatness.
But that attitude, aside from being innately racist, grossly inhumane, and irreligious, is a bad plan for the future.
Sure, short term change can be (and probably will be) painful and disruptive. But without change there is no way to find better ways to live together as a human society. Without change we will never solve age-old problems that may only be solved given new perspectives.
In other words, societies need fresh blood, and new ideas. Change in the form of immigration has brought just that to America over the centuries, and it can do it again. In fact, the greatness of our country depends on it.
Build a wall and all we will do is stagnate behind it.
So,
Maintain America's Greatness by Allowing immigration. MAGA, indeed.
