Make Those S##thole Countries Great Again

Dear Mr. President.
We are a nation of immigrants. Your family is not Native American, sir, and immigrated to the United States in the 1800's, seeking a better life, as many did. They all came from what you now refer to as s##thole countries...Ireland, Italy, Poland, Russia, Germany. Yes, we have heard the story of your grandfather Friedrich. Sadly he did not add to the quality of life here in the US, but instead took

Friedrich Trump

advantage of the Gold Rush and "pursued a colorful career providing food, liquor and women to miners". After making his fortune, he came to settle in Queens, NY. When he married a Bavarian woman and she became homesick, he tried to reinstate himself as a Bavarian citizen. But because he had avoided military service, a familiar Trump story, he was denied and deported.

Friedrich said in his pleading letter:

We were confronted all at once, as if by a lightning strike from fair skies, with the news that the High Royal State Ministry had decided that we must leave our residence in the Kingdom of Bavaria. We were paralyzed with fright; our happy family life was tarnished. My wife has been overcome by anxiety, and my lovely child has become sick.

Why should we be deported? This is very, very hard for a family. What will our fellow citizens think if honest subjects are faced with such a decree — not to mention the great material losses it would incur. I would like to become a Bavarian citizen again.

Sounds familiar to the plight of many that you, Mr. President are seeking to cruelly deport back to their s##thole countries on grounds of little more than a parking ticket. You would prefer immigrants from Norway. The United States of America has been a sanctuary  since the very first immigrants set foot on this land, escaping religious persecution, taxation without representation, famine, war, poverty and death. People do not leave their beloved homes, their cultures, their families on a whim. They do so to find a way to survive, to live safely and freely,  to have an education and a better life. THAT, Mr. President is why we have always been a country that welcomes those less fortunate from s##thole countries. THAT is why we are an amazingly innovative, ingenious, hard working and creative melting pot of cultures and beliefs, skills and talents. Or in the words of Emma Lazarus immortalized on The Statue of Liberty gracing New York Harbor: 

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

People don't leave countries that care for them, provide healthcare, safety, and a sound quality of life, such as Norway does. Why you would think that anyone would leave their home in Norway to come here and face the violence, bigotry, discord, and disregard we are now known for is beyond me. You want to make America Great? Perhaps you could rethink what that exactly means. It does not mean going back to the 1950's. It's not about lucrative deals. It's not about coal or oil. It's about caring for people and the quality of life we live. It's about healthcare and education. The way this country is going I can imagine refugees fleeing it in the years to come to gain access to a better way of life elsewhere. We hope that we would be welcomed and make helpful contributions. Maybe you could use executive time to do some research, read, listen to people other than Fox and Friends, open your mind. Because right now Mr. President, the only person I would like to deport is you.

Have a MAGA day.
