Make America good, again, and the great will take care of itself. Care for the poor who come across the borders, instead of turning them away. The huddled masses yearning to be free? In a past day of goodness and greatness, America was more accepting. Welcome them, for it you would be good, this is part of it.
There are other barometers of whether America is good. Sufficient to say, the immigration issue -- alone -- goes a long way toward reflecting the good of a nation. What do the scriptures say? They list all the things you might be doing, but say if you have not charity, you are nothing.
If you turn out the needy as they come to you from abroad, if you do not provide adequate and fully humane treatment for children (and adults) in the detention centers, if you do not provide enough courts so their hearings can be heard without backlogging them into the detention centers, if you do not provide them justice when justice is suppose to be what America is all about . . . these are not reflections of a good society.
