On Thanksgiving, several liberal figures urged conservatives and President-elect Donald Trump supporters to express gratitude to illegal immigrants for their role in harvesting and packing the food enjoyed during the holiday. Former Obama Housing & Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro encouraged everyone, especially Make America Great Again (MAGA) supporters, to acknowledge the undocumented immigrants who contributed to their Thanksgiving meals.
However, Castro's message faced criticism from some who questioned the connection between migrants in urban areas and food production. Others labeled the remarks as racially charged assumptions about farmworkers. In contrast, some individuals expressed thanks for Tom Homan, Trump's incoming border czar.
