Selena Gomez and Netflix Team Up for ‘Emotional’ Docu-Series on Illegal Immigrants
newbusters.org ^ | 9/18/2019 | Gabriel Hays

The series — streaming from Netflix October 2 — aims to both “illuminate and humanize the complex U.S. immigration system.” Variety added that it shows the “struggles many must endure in their quest to pursue the American dream.” Yes, it’s a dangerous and hard crime to commit. Maybe if we see how hard these folks work at making illegal crossings, risking their kids with potential human traffickers, among other crimes, we will sympathize better.

Gomez herself demands that we change our thinking on "immigrants." She claimed that the reason she “chose to produce this series” was that “the word immigrant has seemingly become a negative word.” Oh, sure, because this has always been about hatred for immigrants in general. But please, lie that conservatives hate all law-abiding immigrants in order to sour any of their policy proposals on the issue.

Gomez added, “My hope is that the series can shed light on what it’s like to live in this country as an undocumented immigrant firsthand, from the courageous people who have chosen to share their stories.”

(((YAWN))) Nutflix huh? Wouldn’t waste my money. Maybe she can get Nutflix employees, Barry and Moochelle, to portray a downtrodden, Hispanic family trying to climb over Trump’s “evil wall” so Barry can get a job as a politician in the U.S.

Really.

How about a series that deals with the crimes committed by wetbacks and the families who have lost loved ones because of these crimes; it is my understanding that anywheres from 12 to 25 American citizens are victimized by wetback criminals every day.

So Netflix, how about a series on that?

I kept trying for six months and saw 90 pound women running spec ops to the CIA to the presidency, PC culture galore and way worse. Every show was poorly dubbed, poor acting( if any), every single minority and homosexual they could find and always some subliminal message about climate change or another SJW political talking point.

Then there's the glorification of Narcos and drug running and people behind bars humanizing the criminals. It's all on the democratic stage for the presidency now and Netflix is doing their job. Doubt I would be happy when the Obamas Soetero's start running stuff. It's over and not coming back.

Sounds like it won’t be a documentary. Sounds like a propaganda piece.

Variety added that it shows the “struggles many must endure in their quest to pursue the American dream.”

Where are the stories about those who waited in line and received their US citizenship the legal way?

Why is Variety focusing on criminal acts? Criminality is a risky business. Why are the Democrats encouraging breaking the law?

Why are Democrats anti-American?

What oath do they take when they are elected to office?

To what country do they pledge allegiance? It does not appear to be the Constitution of the USA!

“lie that conservatives hate all law-abiding immigrants”

The only law-abiding immigrants I’m hating are the ones that are trying to undermine our country by advocating for the illegal ones.

She was showing her ta-tas and more on the internet when she was young. Who’s she to be telling anyone how to act.

Maybe she could do a series on how my son ended up having his social security number being used in 5 states at the same time...and how many problems the identity fraud caused him.

Mr. Rogers, how were you able to know that your son’s SS # was being used all over? I mean were you notified, was someone was trying to open a credit card? Was the issue resolved?

Not to mention how their kids will be eligible for affirmative action programs in jobs and education that discriminate against our kids. I wonder if we could move to Honduras and be pushed to the line ahead of Hondurans? I doubt it!

My son applied for a health care program and was told he didn’t qualify because he made too much. After all, he had 5 jobs in 5 states...

It took him a year to get it mostly cleared up.
