Selena Gomez’s family has a strong connection to immigration. Her aunt moved to the United States from Mexico in the 1970s, followed by her grandparents, Ricardo and Mary.
Selena’s father, also named Ricardo, was born in the U.S. to her immigrant grandparents.
In a 2019 article for Time Magazine, Selena Gomez shared her family’s immigration story and recognized how lucky she was to be born in the U.S. because of their journey.
While Selena Gomez’s intentions appeared sincere, the video was met with significant criticism on social media. Many users accused the actress of making the situation about herself instead of focusing on the real issues at hand.
