In the age of social media, it seems like everyone has an opinion, from the highest echelons of Hollywood to the moms next door. The White House recently shared a poignant video featuring Angel Moms responding to a now-deleted post by actress Selena Gomez. Gomez, evidently distraught in the video, was shedding tears over deportations, but the Angel Moms had a few things to say about that.
One must wonder if Selena Gomez, swathed in the comforts of her celebrity lifestyle with private security guards and a gated mansion, really understands the implications of illegal immigration. The Angel Moms, who have tragically lost their children to crimes committed by illegal immigrants, are left to grapple with such irony. Gomez might sympathize with those affected by deportations, but as one mom cleverly pointed out, she should be crying for the American children who have been brutally murdered and whose lives were ripped apart by those who entered the country unlawfully.
The mother of Rachel Morin, who was allegedly murdered by an immigrant from El Salvador, was particularly vocal. According to her, Selena Gomez could do much better than crocodile tears—after all, she’s got the resources. If Gomez wanted to make a difference, why doesn’t she support proper legal processes for immigrants instead of adding fuel to the fire of what she calls lawlessness? It’s a question that hits home and that Gomez, with her Mexican heritage and cushy American citizenship, should reflect on deeply.
The Angel Moms see the actions of President Trump in a different light. To them, the deportation of thousands of hardened criminals since he took office is a breath of fresh air, a return to sanity and the rule of law. What’s puzzling is that the previous administration had the opportunity to do something—anything really—but inexplicably chose not to. In doing so, they left many American families, like those of the Angel Moms, to fend for themselves amidst a growing sense of danger and dread in their communities.
These mothers are not looking for sympathy; they’re demanding action. The outcry of these brave women has turned into a rallying cry for better border security, possibly influencing political outcomes and national security agendas. It’s a grim reality that it took such heart-wrenching losses for change to take root in the nation.
In the end, the Angel Moms’ unwavering resolve sends a message that resonates across America. Their bravery in bringing attention to their tragedies has sparked a much-needed conversation about safety and immigration policy. Heaven knows it takes a certain kind of fortitude to share such painful stories with the world, all while watching elite figures like Selena Gomez shed hollow tears without truly understanding the profound impact of illegal immigration on everyday Americans. And if one is to cry for anyone, it should be for those left to live without their loved ones—not for a policy that lacks order.
