Mila Kunis isn’t thrilled with Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. Many people may not know that she was actually born in the Ukraine and she and her family fled to the United States as refugees when she was a child. And while these days people associate refugees with ISIS, and sneer at her status as a refugee, that’s only because it’s easy to forget the evils committed by the USSR decades ago. So she had some choice words for Trump on immigration.

From the Independent Journal:

Now she’s got some words for Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump, who’s repeatedly made waves with his rhetoric about immigrants.

In a recent Glamour interview, Kunis described her parents’ journey and their many hardships:

“My parents went through hell and back,” she said.

“They came to America with suitcases and a family of seven and $250, and that’s it.

“My parents, for years, worked full-time and went to college full-time.”

She took umbrage to the notion that immigrants might be bad for this country:

“I’m not going to blow this country up. I’m clearly paying taxes. I’m not taking anything away,” she said.

“So the fact that people look at what’s happening and are like, ‘Pfft, they’re going to blow s*** up?’

“It saddens me how much fear we’ve instilled in ourselves.”

The actress also has an opinion on Donald Trump’s infamous wall, which would be built to separate us from our neighbor to the south.

In short, she’s not into it:

“And going from there to the whole, ‘Hey, let’s build a wall between Los Angeles and Mexico.’”

“I don’t even have to answer that one. There’s no point.”

However, she isn’t angry at Trump. She admires him for getting really far:

“It’s a really great sound bite. And it got him far. Nobody should be mad at him.”

Kudos to Kunis for seeing Trump for what he is: a con artist who peddles sound bites to the eager masses, who are so desperate that they’ll buy into anything Trump sells. He doesn’t mean anything he’s saying, including about building a wall or stopping illegal immigration. It’s nothing but a sales pitch — and fixing our immigration problems is much more complicated than just bleating about building a wall.
