Castro's Thanksgiving Message: Insulting American Values
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 3 hours ago
In an alarming display of the far-left's narrative, former Obama Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro took to social media this Thanksgiving to push an outrageously tone-deaf message, urging Americans to express gratitude for "undocumented immigrants" at their holiday tables.
As families gathered to celebrate this cherished American tradition, Castro felt it necessary to inject a divisive political statement, suggesting that Americans owe their Thanksgiving meal to those who have entered the country illegally.
His remarks, shared in a now-viral tweet, read: “Everyone at the dinner table today, especially MAGA, please give thanks to the undocumented immigrants that picked and packed the food you’re enjoying. They deserve our grace.”
This kind of rhetoric underscores a disturbing trend among progressive elites who seem intent on redefining what Thanksgiving means. Instead of celebrating the hard work of American farmers and laborers who produce our food, or taking a moment to reflect on the blessings of living in a nation that values lawfulness and sovereignty, Castro instead promotes an audacious narrative that diminishes the contributions of legal citizens.
Moreover, Castro’s terminology shift from “illegal aliens” to the more sanitized phrase “undocumented immigrants” is not just a change in language; it’s a calculated strategy to soften the realities of illegal immigration and strip away the serious consequences that come with it.
Critics quickly responded, pointing out the insensitivity of his comments at a time when many Americans are struggling with the costs associated with food and inflation, which have been exacerbated by a wide-open southern border under the current administration.
In direct contrast to Castro, many on social media highlighted the importance of recognizing the hardworking American citizens who cultivate the land and ensure that everyone in the country can enjoy a Thanksgiving feast.
"We should be giving thanks to American workers who abide by our laws and contribute to our society," said one commenter, challenging Castro's misguided appeal.
As Thanksgiving serves as a poignant reminder of the values our nation holds dear—gratitude, family, and lawfulness—it is paramount that we resist the progressive inclination to rewrite or diminish these traditions.
At its core, Thanksgiving is about coming together, showing appreciation for our nation, and honoring those who have built it. As conversations continue regarding immigration and the border, it is crucial to remain grounded in the principles that prioritize American citizens' rights and respect for the law.
This Thanksgiving, as we gather with loved ones, let us focus on what truly matters—the values that unite us as a nation.
