Celebrity Selena Gomez recently posted, and then quickly deleted, a video of herself sobbing uncontrollably over the treatment of illegal immigrants being expelled by the Trump administration.

Gomez was, of course, mercilessly mocked by conservatives across social media. There’s nothing really wrong with sympathizing with those trying to escape the deprivation and tyranny of the Third World. Most of us, I assume, would do the same for our families. The frustration, though, is misplaced.
