Čini se kako je pop pjevačica napravila nagli zaokret što se tiče pitanja imigracije, postavljajući pitanje zašto bi grad i država koji “ne brinu o svojim vlastitim građanima” trebali dovesti i “brinuti se za još više njih”.
“Shvaćam pomaganje imigrantima koji se nalaze u teškoj situaciji, ali MOJ GRAD (Los Angeles) NE BRINE SE O SVOJIM”, rekla je Cher u tweetu objavljenom u nedjelju. “ŠTO JE S 50.000+????????građana KOJI ŽIVE NA ULICAMA. LJUDIMA KOJI ŽIVE ISPOD GRANICE SIROMAŠTVA I GLADI? Ako se moja država ne može brinuti za svoje (od kojih su mnogi VETERANI) kako se može brinuti za još više njih?”
I Understand Helping struggling Immigrants,but MY CITY (Los Angeles) ISNT TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN.WHAT ABOUT THE 50,000+🇺🇸Citizens WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS.PPL WHO LIVE BELOW POVERTY LINE,& HUNGRY? If My State Can’t Take Care of Its Own(Many Are VETS)How Can it Take Care Of More

Pozicija Cher predstavlja zaokret od 180 stupnjeva od tweeta koji je objavila u rujnu 2017. godine, kad je ponudila “uzimanje ‘dreamera‘” u svoj dom.
“Oni koji mogu moraju uzeti DREAMERA u svoj dom i zaštititi ih”, napisala je. “Spremna sam to učiniti i ostali u MOJOJ BRANŠI POSLA UČINIT ĆE ISTO. UTOČIŠTE.”
Those Who Can Must Take a DREAMER In2 Their Home & Protect Them‼️I’m Ready 2 Do This & 🙏🏻Others in MY BUSINESS WILL DO THE SAME‼️SANCTUARY

Tweet liberalne pop pjevačice došao je nakon što je predsjednik Trump predložio puštanje dolazećih imigranata iz zatočeništva u gradove utočišta. Predloženi potez ironično je privukao bijes mnogih liberala, koji su brže-bolje napali tu ideju.
Zaokret Cher privukao je pozornost mnogih na Twitteru koji nisu mogli ne primijetiti ironiju:
“Nikad neću zaboraviti gdje sam bio i što sam radio u trenutku kad je Cher postala republikanka”, tweetao je Michael Knowles.
I'll never forget where I was and what I was doing the moment @Cher became a Republican. https://t.co/eAA8JOkAFK

Bilo je još mnogo sličnih objava:
Your city is run by Democrats who don’t believe in Americans First. See your @MayorOfLA for example. He helped set up a $10M fund to provide assistance to illegal immigrants facing deportation. Did he set up a $10M fund for homeless Americans/Veterans too? https://t.co/MnXTsUsWYy https://t.co/aOlJRo3edq
