Well, knock us over with a feather. No, seriously. Because Perez Hilton is defending Donald Trump on birthright citizenship.
See for yourselves:
I don’t agree with Donald Trump on many things, but I DO think that if a child is born in America to parents who are here illegally that they should not be granted automatic citizenship. And I say this as a liberal and Latina! https://t.co/AcLNjB9C37

We definitely did not see that coming. Neither did Hilton’s followers, it would seem.

I love you, but absolutely disagree with you on this one.

Hypocrite. Pure and simple.

Latina?? You are a LatinO. At least you identify as a male on your profile. It is disgraceful to turn your white male privileged back on poor mestizo women whose children have the right to citizenship if born on US soil. I highly recommend you to do more reading and less selfies.

As you’ve probably guessed by now, there’s lots more where that came from.
And the next thing you know, my child, who was born of a mother who was not born in the United States, will be next. I’m sure you wanna rethink this. I’m sure of that. ?
— Maria Hinojosa (@Maria_Hinojosa) October 31, 2018
You can be not born in the U.S. and be here legally. That's what my initial tweet said.
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
So you basically want to condemn newborn, blameless children to a life in the shadows of American society because their parents did something you disagree with? I don’t think you’re that different from Trump at all.

Not the ones already here. Just ones that would come illegally. Yes. https://t.co/3BUgYWyZ4l

Whew… Thank God for that Cuban wet foot dry foot policy and that mass exodus to The US after Castro and that one year and a day policy to get a green card with out having to do anything except make it pass high water mark. Please stop with the hate
— AE (@iamchefapple) October 31, 2018
I address those policies directly HERE: https://t.co/3BUgYWhnFL

Thank you, I will take a look at the video

I'm not out here trolling people. I'm not pulling a Kanye. x
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
I understand that, 90% of immigrants that come to the US come bc they are fleeing atrocities that – we – here in this country could never fathom. I'm tired of the GOP using immigrants and illegal immigrants as scapegoats to RULE up their base
— AE (@iamchefapple) October 31, 2018
I'm definitely in favor of welcoming them in. I just think it should be done legally. AND I also think it is not just the right thing to do but the responsibility of America to help other countries in need.
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
I would have to respectfully disagree,I do believe that every child has their right of passage , if born on US soil than so be it – JF
— Jo Frost (@Jo_Frost) October 31, 2018
The UK disagrees with you, Jo. They don't have birthright citizenship. Australia disagrees too. And so does MOST of the world. https://t.co/3BUgYWhnFL
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
Yes,I know, but not Canada funny enough, it is what I believe for every child born.
I do believe fundamentally it is a childs rite of passage,always will.— Jo Frost (@Jo_Frost) October 31, 2018
I do believe every child already here and every adult too should have a path to citizenship and should stay. I'm speaking about going forward. I don't believe we should be rewarding illegal behavior.
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
I believe every country needs to have healthy immigration regulation laws, however it pains me to see young innocent children STILL in detention hubs,the silent witness who are suffering emotional trauma as we spk,unborn have no say where they are born,I believe in their rite❤
— Jo Frost (@Jo_Frost) October 31, 2018
Agreed! I am very much in favor of more immigration to America and making the process easier. Quick. Affordable to all.
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
No human is illegal. No child has a say in where they’re born. Screw you, you vile person.
— rocky (@rockyvy) October 31, 2018
There are people in America illegally. That's just a fact. https://t.co/3BUgYWhnFL
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
I’m not giving you the benefit of a monetized view. I know how you work. You just want to make those coins while flinging shit everywhere.
— rocky (@rockyvy) October 31, 2018
Don't watch. I don't care. I'm not out here trolling people. I'm sharing my belief. I'm not attacking anyone either. That was YOU, boo! xoxo
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
You’re literally telling people who were born here that, even though they received citizenship constitutionally, that you don’t believe they should be here. I’m not attacking people, I’m attacking YOU.
— rocky (@rockyvy) October 31, 2018
No, I'm not. If you watched my videos you would see that. But, you won't. So… SHOW ME THE RECEIPTS. Where and when did I address anyone born here???? From the beginning I was talking about future plans. I've always been about keeping families together and a path to citizenship.
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
Your receipts are your tweets. And if you have something to say, you can just say them here. And what you’ve said here is all I’m responding to. I can’t help you if you don’t understand what the argument is about.
— rocky (@rockyvy) October 31, 2018
Ok, show me the tweet. I was always talking about the future. Bloop! xoxo
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
Again, you are completely blind to my original argument. No child is illegal. Done. Period. Children should always be given the best opportunity at starting their lives. They did not ask to be born only to be punished for circumstances they do not control.
— rocky (@rockyvy) October 31, 2018
Well, the overwhelming majority of the world disagrees with you, including the UK and Australia. Only 30 countries allow birthright citizenship. x
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
There was once a time the majority (or rather, people in power) didn’t believe homosexuality was normal. That gay men cannot adopt children. That Christianity is the only religion worth killing for. So what’s your argument?
— rocky (@rockyvy) October 31, 2018
My argument is why should we be rewarding illegal behavior?
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
And what did the child do illegally except coming out of the womb?
— rocky (@rockyvy) October 31, 2018
Parents can be held responsible if their minor child commits a crime. So, according to your logic, they also shouldn't be?
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
What’s your logic here? A newborn can not commit a crime. There is no crime for being born on foreign soil. The child didn’t willingly birth themselves to be tried in court with their parents.
— rocky (@rockyvy) October 31, 2018
Anyways, you're not gonna convince me I'm wrong. Have a great day! x
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
But before you go looking to Perez as Kanye 2.0, you should probably make note of this:
Talk Less… Read More…
— Amir Talai (@AmirTalai) October 31, 2018
And the constitution also has the electoral college, which I also would get rid of.
— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) October 31, 2018
Alrighty then.
Sometimes you say dumb things, and sometimes you say smart things!
— Amir Talai (@AmirTalai) October 31, 2018
But I mostly say dumb things! ?
