Once again, the internet has become the stage for a grand drama, with Democrats playing the leading roles. The latest episode features a curious question that seems straight out of a history book: “Who’s going to pick our crops if all the illegals are deported?” It sounds suspiciously like an old refrain about picking cotton, doesn’t it? The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Some folks can’t help but notice that these Democratic cries are not exactly lining up with their supposed fight against racism. There’s an undeniable irony in openly advocating for illegal labor at questionable wages while pointing the finger elsewhere. Yet, the well-practiced hand-wringing continues as myriad celebrities flood social media with their dramatically teary-eyed performances. It’s a sight to behold: multimillionaires lamenting the deportations of illegal immigrants with Oscar-worthy flair.
While these stars perfect their sad selfies, questions arise. Where were these cries when tragedies struck, like the brutal murder of a woman named Riley at the hands of an illegal alien? Or when other horrific crimes were committed by those who entered the country unlawfully? Let’s not forget the ongoing drug crisis, exacerbated by an open southern border, causing untold heartbreak for countless families across the nation. It’s a wonder these issues aren’t getting similar tearful attention.
Perhaps the most glaring omission from the sympathy list has been the situation at the southern border under current leadership. It’s worth mentioning that family separations and challenges in the immigration system remain ongoing issues, but that doesn’t make the headlines as often. Instead, the focus remains on performances rather than actions that could make a tangible difference—like helping people become citizens through legitimate means.
It’s an insult to those who waited in line, filed their paperwork, and earned their citizenship legally. These hard-working individuals put in the time and effort, only to see virtue signaling take precedence over actual solutions. But hey, why bother with logistics when there are tears to be staged, right? In the end, the real show continues to play out, and so does the perplexing narrative of “do as I say, not as I do.”
