ABC's 'Grand Hotel:' 'Really Scary Time' to Be Illegal Immigrant in America #Politics #RedPills
On Monday night, ABC’s new summer soap, The Grand Hotel, took a brief, albeit dramatic, moment to address yet another liberal agenda (surprise!)—illegal immigration.
In the episode, titled “Suite Little Lies,” Felix (Adrian Pasdar), the fugitive criminal father of Yolanda (Justina Adorno) and Carolina (Feliz Ramirez) is hiding out in the hotel. After the threat of being discovered and sent to jail, Felix decides it’s best to leave the country and wants his daughters to join him. This is a difficult decision for Yolanda as she has a girlfriend in the U.S., Marisa (Sabrina Texidor).
When Yolanda tells her about her dad, and that she wants Marisa to leave the country with them, Marisa starts acting very strange and refuses to entertain the idea. We later find out it is because she is an illegal immigrant.
Yolanda: Hey.
Marisa: Hey.
Yolanda: Look, I was thinking about how we left things.
Marisa: Me, too.
Yolanda: Uh, I'm not gonna go. With my dad. Look, I-I realized I don't want to leave with him if that means I lose you.
Marisa: Wait. I need to tell you something.
Yolanda: Okay.
Marisa: I have been acting weird about your dad, but it's not because I'm judging or even because I don't want to leave the country with you. [ Inhales deeply ] If I leave... I can't come back.
Yolanda: What do you mean?
Marisa: My family and I came here from Colombia when I was 4. And I guess we were in a hurry, so we didn't get asylum.
Yolanda: Okay...
Marisa: I didn't find out until I was a teenager, but, um... I'm undocumented.
Yolanda: Honey. It's okay. I promise.
Marisa: It's -- it's just a really scary time to admit that out loud. Please don't tell anyone. No one knows outside my family.
Yolanda: Well, I guess that makes me your family now.
This scene is mild compared to many liberally biased scenes about the same issue that run rampant on TV, however it still subtly sneaks in the kind of drama that seeks to gain the sympathy of its viewers. Marisa’s mention of being brought here when she was young, supposedly as a refugee who just had to get out, seems to be pointing to the DACA issue that is so controversial today. She also mentions that it's "a really scary time" for undocumented citizens—a not-so-subtle jab at our current administration.
While heartbreaking cases of true asylum seekers do exist, it seems as though the media is trying to portray that they are the vast majority of illegal immigration cases. When will we see a TV show that talks about the crimes that illegal immigrants commit in the U.S.?
