This is actually a nice photo of Jim Acosta with his dad.
And we get what he’s trying to do here BUT … we’re not entirely sure it was all that successful. Note: Between this and the stuffed Pepe photo, Jim has not exactly been successful posting pics today and might want to stick to just complaining about Trump.
This is my Cuban father. He came to the USA as a refugee at the age of 11. He “assimilated” quite well. He even enjoyed our National Pastime – baseball. This is us seeing the Cuban team playing the Orioles in Baltimore. pic.twitter.com/EuP64e1MiO

Maybe using his dad in this manner to make a political statement about immigration and refugees wasn’t the smartest thing for him to do?
Just spitballin’.
I appreciate the sentiment, but an old Cuban guy getting into baseball is like the worst example of "assimilation" you could've picked, lol. https://t.co/NfkOGX9Sru

Eeek. And yes.
My grandfather also seamlessly transitioned from yelling at Dominican baseball teams on a grainy television to yelling at the Mets on a grainy television.

Heh.
I thought he'd never assimilate, but then he took up dominoes.

It's their national pastime in Cuba too to be fair.

Not to mention how many successful Cuban baseball players there are in this country.
Nice try though, Jim.
Legal immigrants assimilate. Illegal do not have same opportunities

He’s missing the entire point of the conversation around immigration. Americans embrace legal immigrants including refugees who come here ‘legally’. The bigger discussion is about those who break the law to come to our country and then refuse to be actual Americans.

It absolutely is a great picture of both him and his dad.
But the statement he’s trying to make here was all fail.
