This nation comprises immigrants, including a significant number from South America. Our immigration policy has long been neglected, with no updates or enforcement from Congress. The Biden/Harris administration’s approach to open borders was arguably one of the most misguided regarding the southern border.
I empathize with those who are deported despite being law-abiding; entering the country illegally, however, complicates the process for those waiting legally to immigrate. Securing our borders is essential.
Regarding Miss Gomez, virtue signaling is never justified as it stems from insincere motives. However, the White House reaction wasn’t solely about her. But, individuals like her are labeled as influencers, but what exactly are they influencing? Genuine empathy is for victims, not for those who commit heinous acts like rape and murder.
Her actions were perceived as cruel to the victims of crimes committed by those here illegally. Where was her empathy for American victims of rape and murder at the hands of those she shed tears for?
