Anna Paulina Luna Warns Photos Could Manipulate Public Against Deportations
Asher Notheis, Washington Examiner, November 13, 2024
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) predicted members of the media will utilize photos of children being separated from their families in an attempt to deter President-elect Donald Trump‘s plans to deport illegal immigrants.
Trump has pushed for mass deportations of illegal immigrants as part of his presidential priorities, saying it will be one of the actions he seeks to carry out on his first day in office. Luna noted how she and her fellow Republican lawmakers have sought to secure the border over the last two years, but such efforts have been hindered by “the Washington bureaucrats” who have blocked these moves.
“In fact, I’m waiting for the media to start putting up pictures of women and children being separated because that’s what they’re doing,” Luna said on Fox News’s Jesse Watters Primetime. “They’re not telling the American people that a majority of the illegals here are actually military-age males from China, the Middle East, and parts of South America, where they’ve been affiliated with cartels and terrorist organizations.”
Luna contended that Trump and the Republican Party saw “a massive shift” in support among Hispanic voters due to illegal immigration impacting this voting bloc’s communities {snip}
