It's at least an attempt, but it's still pretty weak. Compare to say, all those countries doing the "America First, Our Country Second" videos. now those were funny.

For anyone who doesn't know, there were actual signs like this in southern California: Apparently the last sign disappeared (presumed stolen) earlier this year. I used to see them on I-5 between San Diego and Orange County. I always thought they were kind of dehumanizing, but leave it to the current Republican party to sink to a new low in handling immigration security.
His cartoons on national events get picked up regularly, that's for sure. Hopefully, he'll still have an outlet for his locally-focused ones, too. "Brewed on Grant" I think they were called (Grant Street is the home of his preferred downtown diner).
I thought them the other way. I thought "be careful, people trying to make a better life running from the border patrol (police.)" Probably didn't hurt that I worked with several who crossed illegally.
Earth 1 News: https://www.apnews.com/amp/e7f0710bfff44acda5012c794c8f92a2 The subcommittee report found that from October 2013 through 2015 the federal agency placed nearly 90,000 children with a sponsor, after they were detained at the border without a legal guardian. The majority of those sponsors, the report found, were a parent or legal guardian living in the country. No specific numbers were provided in the report. HHS did not respond to the AP's request for that information.
That qualifies as a good meme now? Maybe because it is so terribly and transparently bad? I really don’t get Bizarro Earth.
That's because you hold on to outmoded ideas such as objective reality. The only thing that matters is subjective feelings, those feelings of Trumpsters.
Those signs have been there since the early 80's. And they are legit. More than once on my way home to San Clemente I saw dozens of families bailing out of cars, running across multiple lanes of traffic to hide in the brush to escape a ramped-up enforcement effort at the checkpoint just north of Oceanside (the whole area north of there to San Onofre is a Marine Corps base and unpopulated).
