On June 16, 2025, Texan singerBobby Pulido appeared on La Mesa Caliente (Telemundo) to comment on the ongoing mass deportations in the U.S.
Pulido, known within the regional Mexican genre, made a strong call: “Both parties have contributed to the problem” and now his words resonated with Hispanic audiences.
Shared responsibilities
Pulido stressed that both Democrats and Republicans share the blame for not solving the immigration crisis:
“Because they don’t solve it, they want to run and they want to use it as an issue to run and get votes”.
He not only blamed the current administration, but also recalled that Barack Obama’s administration had already seen massive deportations, although, in his opinion, without the damaging discourse that characterizes recent actions.
Pulido emphasized that while the problem is not new, the tone is:
-He criticized former President Trump for his aggressive speech.
–He applauded that Obama “never spoke ill of anyone.”
He rejected songs that mock migrants or celebrate ICE actions, calling them a trivialization of a serious crisis.
Border reality and current policies
Pulido’s statements are consistent with recent policies:
Operation Safeguard (January 2025) triggered raids in sanctuary cities like Chicago and Los Angeles, pushed by ICE under the Trump administration.
According to official data, in the first 50 days of the new mandate, more than 32,800 arrests and 37,600 deportations were recorded.
These immigration enforcement efforts have provoked alarm and protests from Latino leaders, including the U.S. Hispanic Congress.
Bobby Pulido: A call for respect and empathy
Pulido concluded with a simple and profound request:
“The border is chaos, but don’t make fun,” he said, stressing that the situation should not be mocked or trivialized.
This message is crucial for the Hispanic community: an invitation to maintain dignity when talking about migrants.

What does it mean for Hispanics in the U.S.?
Buzzy
Failed Bipartisan Policy
Migration is not exclusive to one party, and both administrations have implemented deportations without regard for the human impact.
Impact on communities
Raids even in secured areas (schools, hospitals, churches) generate constant fear.
Shift in public opinion
According to recent polls, Trump’s approval among Hispanics dropped to 37%, while 59% disapprove of him, largely because of these policies.
Importance of the narrative
Beyond legal actions, what is said about migrants shapes the social environment. Pulido reminds that respect must prevail.
Bobby Pulido demands shared responsibility for the migratory situation and calls for a more respectful discourse towards migrants.
By highlighting the lack of real resolution, the militarization of raids and the impact on the Hispanic community, he offers an informed and empathetic perspective.
His message is pertinent: both Democrats and Republicans must face the problem head-on, but above all, do so with dignity and without mockery.
