Want to teach your kids about immigration? Then someone has created the perfect game for you…
NY POST – A self-proclaimed conservative gift expert is touting a timely toy for tots.
“We are pleased to announce the launch of a brand new line of toys: MAGA building blocks!,” the homepage of KeepAndBear.com hypes in blood-red lettering. “This set comes with more than 100 pieces including President Trump in a MAGA hard hat!”
The $29.95 Lego knock-offs — emblazoned with 45’s “Build the Wall” mantra — are available for pre-order now from the home of “the best selection of Trump gifts anywhere!” Shipping starts Nov. 23.
The site’s promotional language explains the motivation behind the blocks: “A mob of 10,000 Central American migrants is marching through Mexico and heading toward El Paso, Texas. Mexican border agents attempted to stop them at the Mexican border, but to no avail.”
That said, the online merchants get it: Of course foreigners are fleeing their homelands to live and work in America.
“After all, we are the greatest nation on earth,” the product description reads. “In the interest of national security, however, we cannot allow just anyone and everyone to cross our borders.”
And just because these blocks are targeting tykes, don’t think the messaging isn’t deep: “The wall must be built. The wall will keep America safe” from “gangs, criminals and terrorists.”
I bet this guy is gonna sell a ton of these. LOL!
I’ve already seen some websites dubbing this an ‘anti-immigrant’ game. That’s what the left doesn’t understand. The wall, or securing the border, isn’t anti-immigrant at all. It’s simply a tool to help us enforce our laws and encourage legal immigration as opposed to illegal immigration.
So to the newser dude who tweeted this…
New toy challenges children to “build the wall.” What message do you think this sends? @abc3340 pic.twitter.com/DSKa7zAL22

…I say it sends a great message to kids. Of course, that’s all depending on who is delivering the message. But the game itself is just fine.
