America First

                             

While, I must admit that my political knowledge is limited at best recent events have made me look further into seek whats really going on. Sorting thru various articles on CNN's website I came across this article about Der Spiegel's. Unknown to me, it is a weekly German magazine. I found the cover very graphic and symbolic. It spoke so many words to me personally, I thought it was share worthy.
America First  By: James Masters, CNN, Mon. February 6, 2017 

The illustration came from Edel Rodriguez said to be a political refugee from Cuba in 1980. "Rodriguez's image shows a cartoon Trump holding a bloodied knife in his left hand with the statue's head in his right, while blood drips on the floor." The infamous campaign slogan "America First" captions the illustration.

I have to agree with critics, the image is definitely graphic. Even if you try to not stay informed I'm sure most are aware of the current ban recently put in place. Since, America was founded by immigrants and the statue of Liberty represents Freedom, we have to pause. I had to ask myself how far is to far to keep "America First"?
