There is a whole lot of virtue-signaling going on about illegal aliens and their right to be in America on Freeform’s The Fosters in the latest episode titled “Makeover” airing March 6. The viewer is explicitly told that American immigration law is racist, old, and in need of revision because a high school student is lecturing us about it.
Callie Adams Foster (Maia Mitchell) continues on in her quest to help her friend Ximena Sinfuego’s (Lisseth Chavez) parents as they approach their trial date on possible deportation by ICE. Ximena is also an illegal alien but is a DREAMer who has been given a pass to live with the Fosters with her American citizen younger sister, Penelope (Poppy).
Ximena asks Callie to make another video to show to the judge. She wants the ICE raid on her home included so that the judge can see how the family is being torn apart. Callie says it has to be “emotional and moving.” Surely feelings overrule actual law, right?
While this is happening, Callie and Ximena are asked to sit on a panel for Aaron’s law school class to discuss social media and its role in politics. During the question and answer session, Callie defends her friend’s family as a student rightfully points out that Ximena’s parents knowingly entered America illegally and should face the consequences.
