   What does "Make America great again" mean? What does it mean to put America first? Great in what way? First at what?

  Great at bullying smaller and weaker nations to get her own way, or great at setting an example of democracy and working toward global co-operation and reconciliation?

   First to get what she thinks she deserves, and to take as much as she can for herself; or first to ensure that everyone - not just every one person, but every one nation as well - is treated fairly and has enough to live?

   Presidential hopeful Donald Trump revealed yesterday morning, via 'X' (the platform formerly known as Twitter)  that he has a plan to deal with the issue of illegal immigrants and refugees entering the U.S. across its southern border. He laid out the details in a series of tweets.
   The plan seemingly involves allowing private citizens to 'sponsor' illegal immigrants, who would otherwise be deported to their countries of origin in South and Central America at the expense of the United States, according to a spokesperson in Trump's campaign office.
