OPINION
The sexually-charged Super Bowl halftime show was also politically charged.
While Jennifer Lopez was writhing on a stripper pole and Shakira was simulating sex acts, a group of Hispanic children were placed in “cages” across the football field.
The children came out of the cages singing “Let’s get loud” followed by “Born in the USA.”
It was a not so subtle attack on the sovereignty of the United States and those trying to secure our borders.
Fact: Children who are in fact born in the USA have never been put in cages – ever.
Fact: Children who have been brought into this country illegally are separated from the adults who accompanied them for a very important reason. We need to make sure that adult is in fact the child’s parent or relative.
Fact: President Obama instituted the policy of putting the children of illegals in so-called “cages.”
Fact: The producers of that Super Bowl halftime show should be cited with exposing children to inappropriate material.
Fact: Ms. Lopez and Shakira need to put on some clothes — at least a sweater.
Kids in cages at the super bowl singing “let’s get loud”? very impressive ??❤️

We got too emotional our Latinidad in this performance, we are overlooking @Shakira and @JLo political message: We still have kids in cages. Watch again. #HalftimeShow #SuperBowl, #HalftimeShow, #PepsiHalftime @julito77 @latinorebels #SuperBowlLIV @JulianCastro pic.twitter.com/Xf6uX5ferL
