Cher: House and Protect DACA Dreamers in Your Homes by Jerome Hudson 5 Sep 201714
Pop icon Cher urged her three million-plus Twitter followers on Tuesday to provide shelter for illegal immigrants who are currently being shielded from deportation, thanks to the controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty program.
“Those Who Can Must Take a DREAMER In2 Their Home & Protect Them,” Cher wrote. “I’m Ready 2 Do This & Others in MY BUSINESS WILL DO THE SAME. SANCTUARY.”
Cher’s call for Americans to house illegal immigrants is reminiscent of left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore’s 2015 open letter, in which called Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder’s ban on allowing Syrian refugees into the state “disgraceful.”
“I just wanted to let you know that, contrary to your declaration of denying Syrian refugees a home in our state of Michigan, I myself am going to defy your ban and will offer MY home in Traverse City, Michigan, to those very Syrian refugees you’ve decided to keep out,” the Academy Award-winner wrote in a Facebook message.
