Hmm, maybe we should seal the borders*

To protect the rest of the world from our certain Americans, because it's not immigrants or refugees shooting up schools, churches, synagogues, movie theaters, music festivals, IHOPs, yoga studios, etc.

And also to protect the rest of the world from our super-expensive healthcare needs. We spend so much on healthcare but get so little in return, we can't expose other countries to the problems in our healthcare system, and there's clearly some delusion involved since our Republican legislators think it's the "greatest healthcare system in the world".

* - Not actually suggesting we seal the borders

This is actually a really good thought experiment. Perhaps by making this message more ubiquitous, the right wing will perhaps be able to empathize better with how it feels to be generalized as "bad", if you are an immigrant.
