J-Lo's 'political statement on immigration': Twitter goes wild for Super Bowl half-time show with 'Latino children in cages singing Born in the USA'

.Lo got political during her Super Bowl half time show which featured Latino children in cages who then broke into a rendition of 'Born in the USA' in what appeared to be a swipe at Donald Trump's immigration policies. Both Shakira and J.Lo put their Latina heritage front and center of the show, with the former - who was born in Colombia - taking to the stage shouting 'hola Miami!' before bringing out rapper Bad Bunny who sung in Spanish. But it was J.Lo who made the bigger statement during the latter part of her performance, when the lights rose on children including her own 11-year-old daughter Emme sat in cages - which appeared to reference Trump's hardline immigration policy that has seen children detained after attempting to cross the southern border illegally. Emme began by singing part of her song Let's Get Loud before J.Lo appeared in a giant American flag coat, which had the Puerto Rican flag on the other side.

I had better things to do than watch that garbage. Trying to get Windows to recognize my new little SDR. So far, no luck...

One of the drawbacks to listening to Mark Levine on iHeart radio is having to listen to commercials in Spanish.

Tony Soprano would have enjoyed the half-time show.

I am confused. Democrats love kids in cages. Just ask Jeffrey Epstein or Bill Clinton. Isn’t cages how they transported kids to pedo island?

Didn’t see it...not even slightly interested. Showbiz types hating this country is old news.

My wife wanted to watch the halftime show. So I had to watch a display of suggestive sexual acts and a thumb in the eye of American traditions. I’m no prude but it was pretty vulgar. Although I’ve made a vow to not watch the NFL I did watch the last 2 minutes. It was good. I have to admit.

I missed it all. Actually I didn't miss it at all. I went to see Created Equal and then capped it of with a YouTube viewing/rerun of John Doggett's destruction of Howard Metzenbaum on the last day of the Thomas confirmation hearings. (I'd forgotten about the ORU Dean. He was great too.)

Yes, I thought it was basically pure trash. Crotches, poll dancing, butt wiggles, I guess that’s the best they say that Latinos can do.... oh well, whatever. I’d love to see Toby Keith do a half time show and sing his signature song! Put a boot up their a$$, it’s the AMERICAN way.

“Latino children in cages who then broke into a rendition of ‘Born in the USA’”

Worst cages EVER. The bars were so far apart the kids could just crawl out!

It reminded me of “aerobic dance” class in the early 1980s and the Jane Fonda Workout Video, only with lots of butt.

I was also reminded of interviews I’ve seen with women Peace Corps volunteers and missionaries: they say that men in Africa and Asia think all Western women are prostitutes because of American-produced porn videos. In the same way, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are selling an image of Latin American women as sluts, and CardiB and Beyonce sell African American women in the same way.

A decent woman has a lot of evil stereotyping to overcome before she even says Hello.

The misses hit the rack early and I had the TV remote and started flipping through the channels and there was JLo spinning on a stripper pole all fancy crazy. I laughed out loud and the wife yelled out "whats so funny?!" I told her "the Half Time Show,It's the usual A$$fest!"

That Bugs Bunny guy was touching the butt of one of the women, and they are all up in arms about #Me Too? Give me a break.

Yes, a lot of cognitive dissonance going on.

I don’t understand all the butts. Are all men ass-clowns now?

the children were representing children in the womb, and how they should be protected...

see how easy it is to make political statements.
