It was the performance of a lifetime. Selena Gomez in a stripped-down production: The Tears of a Clown.
In a video posted to Instagram earlier this week, the actress pointed the camera at her face and let the waterworks flow as she struggled to eke out words.
Women-crying-on-camera has become its own pathetic genre of social media — a transparent and performative plea for attention or sympathy. But this one, aimed at President Trump’s immigration raids, was a doozy.
“I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t,” said Gomez, whose paternal grandparents are originally from Mexico. “I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.
“My people are getting attacked.”
But just who is Gomez crying for? Who are her “people”?
Was she weeping for the members of Tren de Aragua or MS-13? Maybe it was for Edgar De La Cruz-Manzo, a convicted child rapist and Mexican national, who was arrested by ICE in Seattle? Or Ethiopian national Yared Geremew Mekonnen, a convicted sex offender nabbed by ICE in New Orleans?
The purpose of these initial raids is to apprehend criminal illegal immigrants who have been protected by sanctuary laws. It’s also to jumpstart a very surgical cleanup of President Biden’s colossal border mess.

The property is over 11,000 square feet and has six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, according to E!. Splashy features include an in-home recording studio, a gym, massage room, wine cellar, and a gorgeous pool outside, as can be seen in photos of the property provided by realtor.com.
Could squish at least 10 illegals in there. Make a mint renting.

SHE IS 3rd GENERATION MEXICAN - AMERICAN.
JUST EXACTLY WHO ARE “HER PEOPLE”?????
Exactly. She could open her Tom Petty Mansion to a handful of “her people”.
But she won’t.
You know, if she claims criminal illegals as her people, maybe she should be detained and questioned.
“Gomez, whose paternal grandparents are originally from Mexico.”
I’ve heard that her Mexican grandparents came here illegally, but don’t know if that’s true. (The timing might coincide with Reagan’s loosening of immigration restrictions.)
There’s a video meme of her doing her crying act, and slowly Tom Homan moves up into the screen below her playing a violin.
Shut up and whip out them tits!
Her people are apparently Mexican Americans?
The liberal view of this, is that Trump is rounding up everyone with darker skin tones, putting them in jail, and asking questions later about citizenship or immigration status.
As an actress she was able to cry on cue, on that video she made, and this provides her virtue signaling brownie points with the Hollywood crowd.
