If you haven’t been following the news, President Trump announced he’ll be ending DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an immigration policy enacted by former president Barack Obama that allows so-called “Dreamers,” who were brought into the country illegally as children, to stay under certain conditions.
I don’t think there’s really a right or wrong answer on immigration, but ending DACA is mean-spirited, does nothing to advance our national interest and is mainly aimed at making racists feel good about themselves. Among the people not having it was Cher, who made an impassioned plea for people to take in Dreamers to keep them from being deported.
Those Who Can Must Take a DREAMER In2 Their Home & Protect Them‼️I’m Ready 2 Do This & 🙏🏻Others in MY BUSINESS WILL DO THE SAME‼️SANCTUARY

It’s a really sweet message once you decode the cuneiform-like use of emoji. I think most decent people would agree with her, or at least respect her passion on the subject. But not Brenda Webb, who has since protected her tweets. No, Brenda decided to call Cher out on social media, because I guess for some reason she didn’t think that would make a large number of very catty gay men cross with her.
Poor Brenda. All those people dragging her on Twitter just for being shitty to someone trying to show compassion.

They say you learn something new every day. Today Brenda Webb learned not to f**k with Cher. If she could deal with Sonny Bono and Greg Allman she can deal with you.
Cher didn't come to play, she came to slay!
