The recent viral video featuring Selena Gomez and her comments on mass deportations has sparked a fiery response from the White House. The Trump administration wasted no time in countering her narrative by highlighting the tragic stories of “Angel Moms” whose children were victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants. The administration’s move underscores a crucial and often overlooked aspect of the immigration debate—the impact on American families who have suffered unspeakable losses.
The heart-wrenching testimonials of these Angel Moms remind us that their children are just as important as any others. Yet, their stories often fail to capture the attention of Hollywood celebrities who are quick to weigh in on immigration issues without acknowledging the full scope of consequences. The administration’s decision to spotlight these voices is a stark reminder that while celebrities like Gomez may enjoy the security of private protection, ordinary families face real dangers stemming from illegal immigration.
In the midst of this, the question arises: where was Selena Gomez when these women lost their daughters? While many celebrities promised they would leave the country if their political candidate lost—notably failing to pack their bags—their outcry seems limited to situations that boost their popularity. Whether it’s music or movies, it appears some stars are more interested in likes and ratings than genuinely engaging with the complex issues of immigration and border security.
Moreover, there’s the undeniable reality of how social media has become a tool for illegal activities. It’s alarming to know that platforms like TikTok are being used to warn individuals about ICE raids, allowing them to evade law enforcement. This misuse of technology aids criminal enterprises, from human trafficking to drug smuggling, showing how sophisticated some operations have become in exploiting modern means for illegal gains.
One has to give credit to the Trump administration for its willingness to engage culturally and politically with the larger narrative. By standing firm on immigration laws and enforcement, they’re putting America first, contrary to the distorted narrative of some who label these efforts as anti-immigrant or racist. A robust and lawful immigration system is essential for maintaining not only security but also compassion within the nation. Rather than being swayed by celebrity opinions, the focus should stay on lawful processes and the protection of citizens, including those who are most vulnerable.
