Aquaman actress Amber Heard tweeted about a possible ICE checkpoint in Hollywood late last night where she warned everyone to “give their housekeepers, nannies and landscapers a ride home tonight…”
Just heard there’s an ICE checkpoint in hollywood, a few blocks from where I live. Everyone better give their housekeepers, nannies and landscapers a ride home tonight…

Heard would criticize checkpoints in America saying it doesn’t “feel like the ‘land of the free’ our immigrant ancestors built.”
Checkpoints on your home streets…. Is this the “great” America we’re aiming for? Raids, fences and police-state like checkpoints don’t feel like the ‘land of the free’ our immigrant ancestors built.

And the response to Heard’s Tweet was quick and brutal. Many would call her Tweet racist. Others pointed out her hypocrisy.
Eesh! This will not go down well.

Seriously? It’s easy to be outraged and an ‘activist’ from your privileged LA white soapbox isn’t it?
— MissyJMilly (@MissyJMilly1) July 3, 2018
Nope but it sounds exactly like what a white, privileged, hypocritical liberal says in their mind and behind closed doors to their hypocrite liberal friends, only Amber was ignorant enough to let it slip out. ?? get woke!!! You’re welcome.

Oh, Hollywood cares SO much for hard-working (and inexpensive) brown people.

Is this the "great" America whereby you automatically assume housekeepers nannies & landscapers are all illegal immigrants .. just plain rude & racist
— ⭐️IrishDeppFans⭐️ (@IrishDeppfans) July 3, 2018
So you're admitting you and your pals hire illegal aliens to do your dirty jobs. Good to know. #racist

hi, amber. i love you so much so i'm gonna say this to you: not all immigrants are housekeepers, nannies and landscapers (not that there's anything wrong with being one) but this stereotype should have long been eradicated.

I cannot stop laughing at this because it's so true, you rich celebrities can't even hire legally present aliens or Americans at a competitive labor rate despite all your money.

Very brave of you to protect your underclass of servants!

Ahhh, the truth from a liberal celebrity! Ain’t it grand?!

Not all Hispanics are your house slaves, Amber. https://t.co/I4JKFozwjI

So what you're saying: you wealthy privileged people who can afford to pay an American a living wage, chose to hire an illegal for cheap labor.
Plenty of blacks, legal immigrants, whites, etc to do these jobs at good wages.

Yikes, great insight into Hollywoods perspective on immigrants, and it's quite racist.
— LeggyHendrix (@leggyhendrix) July 3, 2018
Now I see the real reason the Hollywood royalty is so outspoken about getting tough on immigration…. they'll have to pay more for field hands and may have a mow the lawn. Open your eyes Amber.
— Freedom (@win2ktrl002) July 3, 2018
So illegal immigrants can only be your servants? Sounds pretty racist to me.
— Leo C. Schleicher (@leoschleicher) July 3, 2018
And Ken Webster Jr. might have summed it all up in one Tweet.
Wow! Amber Heard is being racist and admitting to breaking the law in a single tweet. There's no way this comment doesn't come back to haunt her later on in her career.https://t.co/axv0eEdM4k

What do you make of Heard’s Tweets?
