Selena Gomez is involved in controversy, and this time it is not due to her participation in a movie or one of her songs, but because of her initiatives. Recently, the celebrity posted a video in which she appeared visibly upset by the deportations of undocumented immigrants in the United States.

"I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry. All my people are being attacked, the children. I don't understand it. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can't. I don't know what to do. I will try everything, I promise," expressed the renowned singer and actress tearfully.

However, several people began to question her, stating that she was creating an "unnecessary drama" and that she was exaggerating. In fact, a candidate for the United States Senate suggested that she should be expelled from the country.
Did she attack them? Selena Gomez responded this way to those who claim she should be “deported” for crying over immigrants.
Sam Parker, who was a candidate for the United States Senate from Utah, reacted to the video of Selena Gomez requesting his deportation.
"Deport Selena Gomez. Selena Gomez chose to support people in irregular migration situations instead of the United States because she is the granddaughter of undocumented Mexican immigrants who obtained citizenship during the 1987 amnesty. She exhibits a privileged stance towards the United States, just like her grandparents who entered without documents. Should Selena also be expelled from the country?" expressed the Republican, finding support from numerous people on social platforms.
Faced with this situation, the singer decided not to remain silent and replied: "Oh, Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker. Thank you for the laughter and the threat."
In another post, the celebrity stated that "apparently it is not okay to show empathy towards people." Although she later deleted both messages, it continues to generate a lot of discussion.
The celebrity has always expressed gratitude for being born in the United States, and thanks their family for having emigrated from Mexico to this country, which has allowed them to enjoy the life they have had.
“In 1992, I came into the world as an American citizen, a fact that I owe to the courage and sacrifice of my family. Over the last 40 years, my relatives have strived to achieve American citizenship. Undocumented immigration is an issue that is present in my thoughts daily, and I am always mindful of the fortune I have of being born in this nation thanks to my family and the favor of circumstances,” the celebrity expressed on one occasion.
