Selena Gomez is voicing her opinion as the administration of former President Donald Trump maintains a strong emphasis on immigration issues.
Upon Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20th, he enacted several executive orders that paved the way for widespread deportations nationwide. In reaction to this, the actress Emilia Pérez—who has openly embraced her Mexican heritage—teared up in an Instagram Story video on January 27th, addressing her followers with a heartfelt “I’m so sorry.
She exclaimed in distress, ‘Everyone I care for is being threatened! The young ones are bewildered. I’m deeply saddened, and I yearn to help, but I am powerless. I’m at a loss as to how to proceed.’
“I’ll try everything,” Gomez concluded, “I promise.”
In a now-removed video, a 32-year-old individual expressed remorse by saying “I’m sorry” and adding a Mexican flag emoji to their caption.
In a subsequent Instagram post, Gomez, a third-generation American-Mexican, appeared to be responding to criticisms about her video by stating, “It seems that expressing compassion for others is not acceptable.
Gomez showcases her roots through her platform and even released the Spanish album, “Revelación“, in 2021. In the same year, she delved into her family background by sharing her story on YouTube Music’s Artist Spotlight Stories.
In this video, I felt compelled to express my personal journey as it fills me with immense pride. As a woman of Mexican heritage, I’ve had the privilege of learning an abundance, and I am continually amazed by what I discover each day.
Looking back at 2019, before the historic 2020 Presidential race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, I had the opportunity to share my insights on immigration in a thought-provoking piece published by TIME magazine.
In this essay, I emphasized the importance of compassionate and inclusive immigration policies, highlighting their significant role in fostering diversity, economic growth, and societal progress. It was an honor to contribute to such a respected platform, and I remain passionate about advocating for humane and forward-thinking approaches to immigration issues.
She shared that her aunt made the journey from Mexico into the United States in the 1970s, hidden away in the back of a truck. Subsequently, her grandparents followed suit, and my father was born shortly after in Texas. I, on the other hand, was fortunate to be born a U.S. citizen in 1992, due to their courageous actions and sacrifices.
For the past four decades, family members have put in a lot of effort to become U.S. citizens, as Gomez, who was featured in Netflix’s 2019 Living Undocumented series, shared. Unauthorized immigration is something that constantly crosses my mind, and I never lose sight of how fortunate I am to have been born here because of my family and the good fortune of my circumstances. However, when I read news headlines or witness heated debates about immigration on social media, I become worried for those in similar situations. I worry for the safety of my country.
