Viraldice: A Genealogist Told Tomi Lahren That Her Immigrant Ancestors Were Criminals

he debate around immigration has been very contentious lately. With the repeal of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — also called DACA , and the lack of a political consensus over how to address the subject of DREAMers, the immigrants who came to America when they were only children, it seems that the immigration debate grows more and more virulent every day.

Adding fuel to the debate is Donald Trump, who famously ascended to the presidency based on – among other things – the disingenuous claim that he would build a wall and “make Mexico pay for it.”

Trump has voiced his regret about ending DACA.

“I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents,” he said in a statement. “But we must also recognize that we are nation of opportunity because we are a nation of laws.”

However, very few people actually believe his words, considering the President has consistently espoused the most grossly racist and xenophobic sentiments.

He called black and brown countries sh*tholes (and then lied that he didn’t), referred to Mexicans as rapists and criminals, routinely bashed African Americans, left Jews out of a Holocaust remembrance, and, of course, called white supremacists “very fine people.”

At least four members of the Trump administration had immigrant ancestors who the Trump's proposal on "chain migration" would have blocked from entry. https://t.co/VDyuPjz9ui

It’s no wonder that people have been emboldened to spout the most virulently anti-immigration sentiments they can. One person, however, has begun to call them out on it in the most innovative way.
