So could Selena maybe, with her vast hollywood riches, sponsor some immigrants and help them come in legally? Is there really nothing she can do? Maybe employ some legally so they can get visas/greencards? And then pay them a livable wage? (I mean, minimum wage is $16 after all, at least in NY...I’m sure she could pay way above minimum wage).

She reminds me of the reaction to the busload of illegal immigrants that DeSantis sent to Martha’s Vineyard, a sanctuary town, until they actually showed up, that is. Selena isn’t interested in sponsoring anyone.
Hollywood has lost all connection with its audience. Like New York theater that puts on plays for itself, Hollywood makes movies for other actors. Theater is dead; now Hollywood is dead.
Actually, her performance on that post undoubtedly just won her an Oscar …I’m sure the Hollywood elites will want to reward her for her heartfelt empathy!
Exactly what I was thinking! Less “blah blah blah…!” More action! She has the means to help, but she’d rather blame.
I know folks who jumped through the hoops to abide by the law ~ there’s no reason why those who are long time illegal productive citizens (and not criminals) cannot use this time to change their immigration status (I’m thinking? I could be wrong) rather than being worried about ICE knocking on their doors…
I, for one, am currently very dependent upon a system that gets extremely abused by folks who want as much of a ‘free ride’ as possible…I volunteer because I don’t like the idea of ‘something for nothing’. I’m livid at the abuse I witness. Though I’m BEYOND BLESSED with things money simply cannot buy, I pray that things will change, and look forward to going to the store and purchasing the food I need for my health!
Prior to the election I kept hearing “If Kamala doesn’t win we’ll lose funding!” IE: the food distribution, etc. I’ve never fared worse financially than I have these past four years! (I’m a disABLED senior widow on below poverty income, but make about $10 too much for programs that can help me get out of this hole. Though I’m BEYOND EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for what I get, I’d
prefer not to need the help.
I know I went off on my own soapbox, but I’m one of MANY seniors I know that have struggled and suffered so much financially from ‘Bidenomics’ and are also infuriated at what these illegal criminals for the most part had the financial red carpets rolled out for them! May we PLEASE take care of our own?
If each and every one of those people (especially those richer influencers) so opposed to deportation would get together and chip in to help to sponsor those who actually WANT to abide by US Government laws and start the legalization process, I personally think that would be a much better use of energy than to complain! Just sayin’….. Trumps a reasonable man. I’m fairly sure he’d even go for it.
a year ~ with more coming in… whilst I hear about what the illegal flooding of immigrants were getting (SERIOUSLY??!!)
I might sound bitter because I’m not getting more assistance, but please do not misconstrue! I would SO MUCH RATHER be able to go to the store, be able to purchase the groceries of my own choosing for my health, and have not had to give up my lemon-vehicle because I couldn’t afford to keep fixing the darned thing!
No. I say we need to stop the horrific abuse of precious innocent children. Make our Country SAFER again, correct the inflation as best as possible, so I can get my finances
"Boo-hoo! I've run out of YOUR money--again!--to spend to help the poor..."
You make a good point. Talk of Trump buying Canada, it seems like socialist/communist 100-billionaires ought to be able to dig enough change out of their couches to buy a good chunk of Mexico and outfit it just like the United States. Think of the steps saved. The only downside would seem to be there wouldn't be millions upon millions of new Democrat voters...

Right??? I'm betting it was a few hundred comments like yours that led to the deletion of her whiny posts.
She reminds me of the reaction to the busload of illegal immigrants that DeSantis sent to Martha’s Vineyard, a sanctuary town, until they actually showed up, that is. Selena isn’t interested in sponsoring anyone.
Also, her movie is up for an Oscar. Bet she got a phone call to turn off the phony tears.

Amen

I still don't understand why Hollywood isn't giving Oscars to everyone...

Back in order! Sorry sounds disjointed but I tried to edit unsuccessfully
