Overview
On Valentine's Day, the White House posted a meme featuring a rhyme: 'Roses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally, and we'll deport you,' drawing sharp criticism from organizations like Voto Latino and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Critics argue the post trivializes serious issues, with Voto Latino condemning it as offensive and divisive. The Hispanic Federation and others joined the outcry, insisting it reflects an ongoing pattern of insensitivity from the Trump administration. This incident coincides with the administration's implementation of aggressive immigration policies, including mass deportations and targeting sanctuary cities.
