Oh. Oh, no.

“Checkpoints on your home streets … Is this the ‘great’ America we’re aiming for? Raids, fences and police-state like checkpoints don’t feel like the ‘land of the free’ our immigrant ancestors built,” she added.

Because the Internet thrives on this sort of unintentional hilarity, Heard’s ham-fisted posturing soon put her on the receiving end of countless online jokes and criticisms. Hence, the aforementioned “since-deleted.”

The funny thing here is: I’m not sure why she caught so much grief Tuesday for her ill-conceived tweet considering Democratic luminaries have said essentially the same thing in the past.

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, for example, said in 2006 during a rally, “This Congress has to acknowledge that (immigrants) built this country from its founding.”

He added, “Today we say to America: We’ve come here to work: We clean your toilets. We clean your hotels. We build your houses. We take care of your children. We want you to help us take care of our children as well.”

Then there’s what President Barack Obama said in 2014 during an address in Las Vegas.

“Americans are tired of gridlock. We are ready to move forward. And we don’t want to — and we just want sensible, common-sense approaches to problems,” he said. “Now, this debate deserves more than the usual politics, because for all the back and forth in Washington, as I said last night, this is about something bigger. This is about who we are. Who do we want to be?”

Obama added [emphasis added]: “America is not a nation that accepts the hypocrisy of workers who mow our lawns, make our beds, clean out bedpans, with no chance ever to get right with the law.”

Few — if any — took offense when the former president and Villaraigosa delivered their respective remarks.

I guess the immigrants-are-cheap-laborers line just sounds better when they said it.
