Hypocrisy of Ivory Tower Hollywood Elites

On stage at the Oscars, actor, director, producer Gael García Bernal said, “As a migrant worker, as a Mexican, as a Latin American, as a human being, I am against any wall that wants to separate us.” Then, the entire elite of Hollywood applauded, completely oblivious to the irony that all of them live and work behind massive walls and a shit-ton of security.

The movie studios that the Hollywood elite create in have enormous barriers around them. Their expensive, multi-million dollar homes and gated communities have a level of security most Americans could never dream of. Why do they have walls around their studios? If Joe Shmo was walking down Melrose Ave. and wanted to enter Paramount Studios to ask for a job or just look around, why can't he go in? Maybe it's true that the majority people that would like to peruse Paramount Studios would be respectful, maybe they'd be quiet while filming was in progress, and maybe they wouldn't bother anyone.

However, we all know that there's a minority of visitors that would be a problem, and that's why Hollywood has walls. Does that make Hollywood racist or xenophobic? Or separatists? Of course not.

The majority illegal immigrants coming over the border are not "bad" people, but a minority of them are. And in the same way Hollywood erects walls to protect itself from a dangerous minority, millions of Americans would like at least a small fraction of the security that the Hollywood elites enjoy. That's one of the reasons they voted for Trump, who wants safe, LEGAL immigration, not illegal immigration, a distinction Hollywood and the Left can't seem to understand.

Yet somehow, if you want more careful vetting of visitors from 7 countries that the Obama administration singled out for special screening, you are xenophobic. Roughly 90% of Muslims on planet Earth can enter the U.S. just like Europeans can. Yet, Iranian Director Asghar Farhadi skipped accepting his Oscar to protest Trump's "Travel Ban"...and the "Liberal" Hollywood elites who live and work surrounded by armed guards and high walls to keep people away from them gave up another round of applause.
Total Hypocrisy.

And so, these elites in their ivory towers look down at the rest of the nation, at their less affluent fellow Americans and tell them, "You don't need a wall, I'm secure, and that's good enough." Average American Kate Steinle, who was shot dead in the bloom of her life by an illegal alien felon who was deported 5 times didn't need a wall or more security according to the Hollywood elites. And all the other Americans who suffer the consequences of illegal immigration, whether it's crime or employment issues, are not a concern to the Hollywood elites. They have their high paying jobs and their armed guards, let the rest eat cake.

If you're a rancher on the Texas-Mexico border and want a wall because you're sick of illegal aliens looting your property and endangering your family, or if you're a minority citizen whose child is getting a lackluster education in a school system overburdened by illegal immigrants, you are of no concern to the Hollywood elite whose kids go to private school.

Blacks who have the highest unemployment rate in the U.S. are detrimentally impacted the most by an uncontrolled stream of low skilled labor. For all their bleeding heart concern for blacks and obsequious support of "Black Lives Matter", the Hollywood elites are completely out of touch with the needs of not just average minority Americans, but all Americans.

And the host of the Oscars Jimmy Kimmel proved how out of touch the Left is when he said the following...

"...if every one of you took a minute to reach out to one person you disagree with ... and have a positive, considerate conversation — not as liberals or conservatives, but as Americans. If we would all do that, we would make America great again. We really could. It starts with us."

And then Kimmel did the exact opposite of what he said about having a positive, considerate conversation and basically called Trump a racist with a racist joke.

The prior Oscars had a racial controversy because not enough blacks won awards so, Jimmy Kimmel thanked President Donald Trump for making the Oscars appear less racist.

Calling conservatives racist is exactly NOT the way to have a positive, considerate conversation.

That kind of disgusting demagoguery is why Trump won.
