“Fuck you, racist fuck!”
“Wow, racist dick!”
“Get the fuck out of my country!”
Those are just some of the wonderful things Latino kids hurl at Donald Trump in a viral ad produced by the Deport Racism PAC. The video got a lot of attention for its use of foul-mouthed kids to promote a pro-illegal immigrant message.

It’s hardly the first time that this trick has been pulled for a left-wing cause. The Deport Racism video was eerily similar to those that have been produced by the group FCKH8. FCKH8’s trademark is employing potty-mouthed kids for the purpose of shouting progressive viewpoints. (RELATED: Kids Have No Place In Politics)
The group’s most popular video featured little girls — dressed as princesses — ranting about gender equality with plenty of profanity. They’ve also made kid-starring clips trashing the Confederate flag and disseminating false information about the Ferguson shooting.
Deport Racism appears to have no direct connection with FCKH8, but it’s pretty obvious where the inspiration for their video came from.
Obviously, Deport Racism’s ad is just another example of why kids should not be used as props in politics. None of these kids can probably grasp why anyone would have a problem with illegal immigration and can only see the issue as black and white. The good guys love people and want illegals to stay. The bad guys are evil racists.
Many Republicans and conservatives besides Donald Trump found the ad offensive. Both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz condemned the ad as vulgar and as a possible instance of child exploitation. The majority of the fuss from the Right has focused entirely on the appropriateness of telling kids to say the f-word for political gain.

However, the message of the ad is worse than any of the words uttered by the video’s young stars.
It’s safe to say that virtually no one would change their views of The Donald after watching the clip, so it fails at the one basic goal of political advertising.
The maker of the ad has tried to defend his offensive clip for having a “good” message behind the bad words.
That message is that there should be no tolerance for anyone expressing concerns over illegal immigration. Those critics deserve to be silenced by hate speech laws.
Additionally, Trump and other Americans have no right to speak out against illegal immigration. To do so is racist. Anchor babies are more American than you are. America is a country where the most recent arrivals get to claim higher status than those whose families have been here for generations.
The key line here is the one Hispanic kid telling Trump to “get the fuck out of my country.” That statement comes after the youngsters finish explaining how the most important aspect of the Constitution is its currently interpreted ability to give citizenship to the children of illegal migrants.
“My country” implies a lot of things. It implies that what the kids represent is the true America. They are the future, Trump’s supporters are the past. The only way the old stock can stay in the new nation is if they fully-embrace its altered identity. The very name “Deport Racism” connotes the idea that any view the Left deems bigoted should not even be allowed in the country.
So much for free speech in their country.
Though using swearing kids backfired for the ad makers, it is indicative of how the Left likes to handle opposing viewpoints. Just hurl insults at high volume and hope the other side capitulates.
While liberals might’ve not liked this instance of using foul-mouthed kids to get their point across, that still doesn’t change the fact that leftists agree with its message of banning anything considered hate speech. Fifty-one percent of Democrats support the enactment of hate speech laws in America. Fifty percent of Hispanics — the demographic Deport Racism implies is forging a new America — also back the proposal. (RELATED: The Laws That Undermine Free Speech)
In the future, it’s likely that if any candidate or public figure made similar comments to Trump on the topic of illegal immigration, they could be jailed. Instead of trying to defeat political opponents through well-reasoned arguments and the ballot box, the Left will utilize state power to crush any foe they can call a “hater.”
That’s if hate speech laws — strongly supported by liberals and recent immigrants alike — get enacted.
That’s if America becomes their country.
