Selena Gomez Should Deport Herself In Solidarity With ‘Her People’

Just over a week into Donald Trump’s second term in office, it has to be said that Kamala Harris’ talking points from the presidential campaign aren’t exactly aging well. You might remember that one of Kamala’s taglines during the campaign was, “Donald Trump has an enemies list; I have a to-do list.” The line was supposed to conjure up a contrast in voters’ minds — a contrast between a president who gets rid of his enemies, and a president who actually gets things done. But it turns out, Kamala’s campaign misunderstood that those two things are not mutually exclusive. A president can indeed punish the enemies of civilization, and also get a lot of other stuff done at the same time. And that’s exactly what Trump has accomplished so far, by all accounts.

To be clear, I’m not bringing this up to trash Kamala Harris, who isn’t worth thinking about anymore, much less attacking. But as dumb as her campaign slogan was, it’s clear that many Democrats thought it made sense. And now that Trump is actually in office, they have no idea what to make of it. They can’t comprehend the fact that Trump is destroying America’s enemies while advancing American interests, and that voters are responding very favorably to his new administration as a result.

Here for example was the scene the other day on CNN, when the anchor realizes — to her shock and horror — that Trump is now far more popular than he ever was during his first term. Watch:

Once again, there’s the screen guy circling and underlining things for no reason. You don’t need to underline the words on the screen. They’re already typed in giant bold letters. We can see them. Anyway, more to the point, the audible gasp from the CNN anchor is a clue that no one at CNN has any idea how this is happening. How can Trump possibly have a higher approval rating after all of his felony convictions, all of the attacks, and the most well funded and consistently sustained smear campaign against a single individual person in the history of American politics? How is that possible?

It begins to make sense when you realize that the agenda Trump is aggressively pushing through in his first two weeks in office is not — or need not be — partisan or ideological. His executive orders and other actions aren’t necessarily “conservative” at all, much less “Right-wing.” Instead, Trump is advancing something called “common sense.” Common sense has become Right-wing by default. But it’s still common sense. And it happens to appeal to a lot of Americans, regardless of whether they describe themselves as liberal or conservative. Most Americans agree, for example, that people with serious mental illnesses should not serve in the armed forces. That’s an intuitive concept that doesn’t need any explanation. Until around 10 years ago, even Democrats wouldn’t object to that. So when Trump and Pete Hegseth announce that trans-identifying individuals would be banned from serving or enlisting in the military, as they did the other day, it makes a lot of sense to most people. As the White House put it, “Unit cohesion requires high levels of integrity and stability among service members.” And because trans-identifying people don’t meet those requirements, they can’t serve. Period, end of discussion.

In just the past few days, the Trump administration has announced a variety of straightforward executive orders like this, and every single one of them comes across as a reasonable solution that normal people would support. Trump is also getting rid of DEI in the military, for example, on the theory that America’s military shouldn’t be concerned with quotas or diversity hiring. They should focus, instead, on only one goal: fighting America’s enemies as effectively as they possibly can. Kill the bad guys. That’s your whole job in the military. Again, this is basic stuff. Until fifteen seconds ago, it wouldn’t even be controversial. Again, this is all just common sense. One by one, that’s what these orders amount to.

There’s also Trump’s planned order creating an “Iron Dome”-style missile defense system to protect the United States. We’ve been funding Israel’s Iron Dome for many years now, but we don’t have a comparable system here — even though, as recent events make clear, American cities apparently face a variety of imminent short-range threats. We just had a swarm of drones appear off the East Coast out of nowhere, and a member of Congress suggested that Iranian ships might be launching them. So why shouldn’t America’s major cities have some kind of protection against threats like this? Again, it’s a simple question. And now the second Trump administration is answering it.

Along the same lines, Americans have made it abundantly clear that they don’t want millions of illegal aliens in this country — no matter how much the corporate press pretends that they “enrich” our communities. No serious person thought the status quo was acceptable, especially as the bodies of innocent men, women and children began piling up. And so now, as a result, the status quo is changing.

The other day, Fox reported that the Del Rio sector of the border has gone from 4,000 illegal crossings per day back in 2023, to just 60 illegal crossings yesterday. These are actual results. And they’re taking place very quickly.

For self-appointed members of the “elite” — particularly in Hollywood — this has been a very difficult series of events to grasp and internalize. They can’t muster any kind of rational argument against what the Trump administration is doing. They’re stunned by how effective he’s been. And they know there’s no logic behind DEI, or open borders, or letting criminals off the hook with no consequences whatsoever. So instead of presenting any kind of cogent argument, they’re melting down.

And there’s maybe no greater example of this phenomenon than the performance that actress and singer Selena Gomez just put on. She uploaded this video to her Instagram story with a caption of “I’m sorry,” accompanied by a Mexican flag emoji. Watch:

First of all, before we even get into what she’s saying, this is obviously an absurd example of emotional manipulation. Anyone who records a video of herself crying and posts it to the internet should be disregarded and ignored automatically. It’s one thing to cry in public (which is a crime that is slightly less offensive when committed by women, though still highly annoying). It’s another thing to film the spectacle yourself. But there’s a more revealing moment that’s actually worth talking about.

You’ll notice that in Selena Gomez’s theatrical crying video, she refers to “my people.” She’s complaining about the Trump administration deporting her “people.” Now if we take “my people” in the most literal sense, it would seem to indicate that Selena Gomez is herself a criminal alien — considering that only criminal aliens are being deported. And in that case, obviously, Selena should be immediately placed on one of those C-17 cargo planes and sent back to her homeland. She’s confessed to her crimes, after all. Trump should deport her based on her word alone. Better safe than sorry. Let her go be with “her people.” And then, of course, we should convert Selena’s many multi-million-dollar mansions into emergency shelters to house all of these illegal migrants that she’s weeping over. That would be the humane thing to do.

But if we take the statement as she likely intended it — that her “people” are Hispanic migrants in general — Americans are never supposed to identify with each other in that way. So instead, a half-Mexican, half-Italian billionaire celebrity from Texas identifies with Mexican illegals, many of whom don’t even speak our language. It goes to show how rampant immigration — both illegal and legal — tears at the fabric of our culture and undermines our national identity. That’s not the point Selena Gomez was trying to prove. But it’s the point she did prove.

Here’s the thing, Selena: if you are American, then your people are Americans. The fact that you do not see it that way — do not identify with or feel any loyalty to the country that gave you everything and made you who you are — just goes to show why Trump’s border policies are necessary. Selena, you never made a video hysterically crying when, for example, North Carolina was ravaged by a hurricane and its citizens were left to drown. You never wept over the suffering of “your people,” who’d been abandoned by Joe Biden’s government and left to die. That’s because you don’t see white people in North Carolina as your people. And that is the problem.

So, immigration enforcement is not just about keeping crime and drugs out of our neighborhoods — though that is a big part of it. At a deeper level, it’s about reclaiming a sense of identity and fraternity as a nation. It’s about becoming a people again. Not just people who happen to all live in the same geographic area. But a people. A nation. Anyone who doesn’t want that — anyone who would prefer that we have no identity as a nation — is invited and urged to leave. We don’t need you here. And we don’t want you.

And a lot of people who are supposedly in Gomez’s target audience — namely Hispanics — seem to understand this, by the way. The Venezuelan YouTuber named “Dross,” for example, responded to Gomez’s video by writing: “Shut up, stupid.” The backlash was pretty much universal, which is why Selena Gomez quickly deleted the post. Then she wrote a passive aggressive follow-up message that read, “Apparently it’s not OK to show empathy for people.” And then she deleted that message, too. So she clearly didn’t have a lot of conviction in what she was saying. The moment her fans let her know they thought she was acting like an imbecile, she took the posts down.

It’s yet another indication that the whole emotional blackmail routine isn’t working like it used to. The fact that Gomez was greeted with near universal mockery is a clear sign that things are changing. A few years ago, a sobbing actress would’ve probably convinced a lot of people that, say, children were being held in “cages” at the Southern border or whatever. But it doesn’t work anymore. We’ve all been lied to, and manipulated, far too much. And as a result, we now have a government that isn’t cowed by these kinds of tactics, either.

Yesterday when border czar Tom Homan was asked about Gomez’s video, he pretty much said he doesn’t care. Watch:

When entire neighborhoods in North Carolina were destroyed by a hurricane late last year, like we just discussed, the DHS secretary at the time made it very clear that he didn’t care about any of the victims. He went shopping for clothes in Georgetown, while FEMA — the agency he was supposedly overseeing — denied disaster relief to homes with Trump signs on the lawn. That is the kind of apathy that we’re all familiar with, when it comes to our federal government.

What the second Trump administration is bringing to the table is a very different kind of apathy. They’re apathetic to the lazy, emotional blackmail and propaganda that constantly emanates from our so-called “elites,” whether they’re in Hollywood or the media. For the first time in modern history, we have an administration that simply does not care how much liberals are willing to fake-cry on camera. To borrow from Kamala Harris’ campaign slogan, those people are now on the “enemies list.” Their opinion doesn’t matter. Their crying is irrelevant.

What matters now is restoring sanity to this country, and to our government. And the more billionaire actresses like Selena Gomez lose their minds, the more the rest of us can be sure that, after many very dark years, sanity is indeed making a comeback.
