Society has lost all sense of moral reasoning. “Heartbreaking: American kid was told at soccer that ‘Trump is gonna send him back’. Mom shares video,” by Vinod Janardhanan, WION, January 22, 2026:
A viral video shows a US-born boy crying after being bullied at soccer practice. He says he was told by a rival player that Trump would “send him back.” His mother shared the clip, sparking outrage over the anti-immigrant rhetoric currently raging in the US.
An American-born boy was shown in a viral video complaining that another kid bullied him at soccer, saying he was going to be ‘sent back’ by Trump because he was an ‘illegal immigrant’. He can be heard saying that at a soccer match, the rival team’s goalkeeper hurled expletives at him like the ‘B word’, and claimed “Trump is gonna get me and send me back.”….
What happened with the kid who was bullied at soccer field?
The video showed 12-year-old Max, the American-born son of immigrant parents, crying in the car.
“And this guy told me I’m an illegal immigrant, even though I was born in America. He said Trump is going to get me and send me back to where I used to live… and I was born in America … I don’t live anywhere else,” Max says while fighting back tears…
To lack sympathy for this child would be to lack empathy and common decency. Yet the blame is not to be put on Trump. It lies squarely with those who partook in or supported the assault on the rule of law and the illegal entry of unvetted migrants into the US. Now America has become deeply polarized, thanks to the Democrats having done this, and even children are paying the price.
Consider the child victims who are being trafficked, youngsters who have overdosed on drugs, and those who were harmed, raped or murdered by the criminals who entered the country with other illegal migrants. And what about the cries of the children who lost their mom or dad to an illegal migrant criminal? Who cares about them? Certainly not the leftist media and Democrat politicians who are fanning the flames of division.
Leftists are emotionally unbalanced and intellectually bankrupt as they continue to oppose and blame the wrong side, and to defend lawlessness. In the same manner, Israel is blamed for defending itself while Hamas gets a free pass for murdering Israelis while using Palestinian civilians, including children, as human shields.
This innocent American-born child crying on video does not deserve to be bullied. It is, however, the Biden administration who failed him, just as it failed illegal migrants by giving them the wrong idea about what America would or should offer them. It is the Democrats who failed Americans by allowing the country to be invaded by unvetted, illegal migrants, yet their loyalists continue to defend the practice. The Democrats are the real reason for this child’s sorrow. They manipulated immigration for votes as they manipulate identity politics for votes. Now tensions are flaring to a fever pitch.
Do proponents of open-door migration really wish to transport the entire continent of Africa, the Middle East and Central America into America? It may not be possible, but America has been slowly metamorphosing to a closer resemblance of the worst countries of these regions, as Democrats (and other leftist leaders) accommodate anyone and everyone who enters from those countries, all on the taxpayer dime.
Whether the bullied child is the child of illegal migrants or hardworking legal immigrants isn’t known. But he is paying the price for the left’s doctrine of lawlessness, which is now sparking anger, exasperation and whisperings behind closed doors at home where children — such as those who bullied this boy — are listening.
Those who are outraged at such parents over this incident are manifesting the same leftist mentality that tried to make a martyr out of Renee Good and fanned the flames of hatred and violence against ICE agents who were doing their jobs to protect Americans. This includes the ICE agent whom Renee Good hit, and who suffered internal bleeding as a result. Other activist media either ignored his injury or minimize it.

If this child’s parents were here legally, he may not have much to worry about. Although if birthright citizenship is abolished, he would have to start a naturalization process when he hits 18. May partly depend on the citizenship status of his parents
I don’t think he should have been bullied: it’s not up to his schoolmates at soccer to tell him whether he’ll stay or not. That is something his parents would have to worry about, depending on whether they came legally or illegally, and what the status of their citizenship is. All that can be done lawfully, w/o frightening anyone. ICE is mainly operating against people who have been remaining in the country in violation of the rules
Kepha says
I will admit that I am very uncomfortable with abolishing birthright citizenship. Germany’s citizenship laws are very stringnt and strict, and they ended up creating third-generation non-German “Turks” in their country. I can foresee an abolition of birthright citizenship creating a large class of people living in the shadows ithout any stake in the safety of society.
Such a class of people in the shadows would be a fertile breeding ground for organized crime, predatory youth gangs, and cannon fodder for would-be revolutionaries. I teach in a community some distane from where I live where I’m sure a fair number of the youth are either undocumented themselves or have undocumented parents, and they tell me that having a gang connection is the way people protect themselves. This is why I support both enforecement of immigration law and the continuance of birthright citizenship.
Be assured I agree with the OP about how the Democrats’ and other Leftists’ bid to create a permanent majority through illegal immigration is to blame. Worse, they theselves spread the idea that government’s job is to provide for everyone–and then they go to stretching the system to the point of breaking. That’s a point I make with every Leftist I talk with.
As for Renee Good’s death, I’ll let the investigative machinery do its job (although given that the offier who was hit was found with extensive internal bleeding tells me this wasn’t simply an accident). I do not see any government system as perfect, which is why I believe in limits and restraints on power (and on the expectations of the governed). But I would agree that whoever organized the Biden-era migrant caravans needs to be arrested and charged with however many counts of human trafficking.
Nera says
But how’s that all of a sudden bad when for years the immigrants countries of origin were described as so much better with better cultures and better people just somehow mysteriously without money? He’d be going to a way better place, no? Shouldn’t he be celebrating?
somehistory says
There are so many *problems* with this story.
He was supposedly ‘bullied’ by the other team’s goalkeeper….who is now a “guy” ? ““And this guy told me I’m an illegal immigrant, ”
Do kids his age these days call others his age ‘guys’? I remember being twelve; we called each other ‘kids’ when referring.
He supposedly was just crying to his parents after the game. But, all of it is on video. Like it was staged.
What kid that age wants his crying to be put out there for everyone to see and hear?
Furthermore, how sure can we be that he actually was ‘born in America’?
His parents may have told him so. It may be on his school records. But, perhaps his parents sneaked across the border twelve years ago so he could be born here.
Or perhaps, his mother flew into the U.S. from china just to have him.
Call me a skeptic. I don’t trust people to be truthful as I once did.
John Jake says
Agree Also, it may just be me but this kid looks a bit on the young side to be 12 years old. As you’ve pointed out, a number of things regarding this story don’t jibe.
somehistory says
Thank you, John. I agree with your thinking he looks younger than 12. Body size as well as his countenance.

“America has been slowly metamorphosing to a closer resemblance of the worst countries of these region” I just searched; US illiteracy has risen from 2.4% in 1960 to 21% today. I suspect it’s higher, as the open borders brought in large numbers of generationally illiterate individuals.
I watched a young female leftist protester screaming at a father. She then turned on the 1-2yo he was pushing in a stroller, getting in the poor baby’s face and shrieking like a lunatic. I’ve watched them attack cars trying to reach a hospital to get emergency treatment for a child in the car. I’ve watched them take their children to protests; one such couple just got exposed for lying that ICE attacked them and their children for no reason and fundraising hundreds of thousands of dollars off those lies.
So I’m sorry for the child’s tears, but I also wonder if the story is true because these leftists willingly risk their children’s wellbeing.
somehistory says
I saw a story online about a woman…hideous creature, like something from a horror movie. .having tried to murder an infant. She admitted it to another adult.
Another woman in the house found her sitting naked on the baby’s face and …before she called the police, she beat the perp ….which I find refreshing for some reason. (a little real justice. applied before the perp is allowed to say she’s mental).
Many people today have hatred where their ‘natural affection’ (which Paul wrote about to Timothy)) for children should be.
Kepha says
Had that been me pushing my grandkid or grand-nephew/niece in a stroller, I would’ve struck a blow on that AWFUL’s cheekbone with my cane while congratulating her on being the first woman I’ve ever felt constrained to hit.
Well, actually, I’d probably try to have her arrested for assault and threatening the safety of a minor.
BTW, feel free to tell the world that Uncle Kepha lives in a community full of immigrants (that is, foreign born), but ICE seems completely uninterested in this area–probably because our foreign-born are either naturalized US citizens, lawful permanent residents (green card holders), or screen-in asyum seekers.

Re dems and their favorite criminals
Watching a program about detectives trying to get DNA from an incarcerated rapist/murderer. and were told that would be an ‘invasion of the criminal’s right to privacy’
When the detective complained, the prison official told him to “change the law.”
So, the LE guy began trying to do that….with the dems fighting the change. It finally passed..
LibertyORdeath says
Him and his whole family should be deported immediately.
Peter Herz says
Let’s not blame the victim. The bullying of this kid–regardless of his status–is not something to let slide. Right-wing, Christian Federalist/Democrat Uncle Kepha stands completely on the side of the bullied kid. Yes, bullying is something kids do nd it is something that parents, uncles, aunts, adult neighbors, and teachers need to correct.
Apparently, from the name, the bullied kid is of Indian descent. Someone else’s kid was apparently taught that “brown”(or whatever color from swarthy to obsidian) is the mark of someone who isn’t “American”. That is as racist and ignorant as any of the following:
1. Assaulting Chasidim to “strike a blow for poor, oppressed Palestine” or use Chasidim caricatures to attack “Zionism” when the Chasidim are themselves anti-Zionist. Nothing more gives the lie to the canard that “anti-Zionism” isn’t the same as “anti-Semitism”.
2. The goons who, in the wake of 9/11, assaulted Sikhs in the belief that turbans and beards meant “Muslim”.
3. Accusing all “white” people of the sins of slavery and segregation.
4. Michelle Obama’s boycott of “white”-owned businesses.
Finally, let’s stop the stupid cheapening of our language by turning “immigrant” into a synonym for “undocumented alien”. An immigrant is someone who moves into a country from another one.
Yes, the so-called “Immigrant Rights” advocated went way too far in their assaults on federal law enforcement and in their naked attempt to gain political advantage for their party by sponsoring an invasion. But this is not a call for us on the Right to counter with more overheated rhetoric and disregard of law and morality. Maybe this is a time to tell the other side that they should not have raised rhetoric to fever pitch.
John Pepple says
I remember when the Dems were adamant that some little Cuban kid be returned to Cuba, so I don’t really care about how horrified they are about the plight of this kid.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, the Elian Gonzales incident. His father in Cuba wanted him back, his mom died while trying to bring him here. I recall at that time, a lot of US men supported sending him back, b’cos they saw it as a case of men’s parental rights. The late Rush Limbaugh noted that, but also noted that that wasn’t a case where to uphold the father’s right, since it was more the whims of the Castro regime
Troybeam says
Immigrant Parents: did they enter legally, have the parents become citizens? If so no problem however if they came in illegally this child is not an American Citizen. Should be deported along with the parents.
Blame the parents not Trump. We have laws. Not enforced aka democrats etc.
Here are the laws of Mexico:
There will be no bilingual programs in school.
All ballots will be in nations language
All government language
Non-residents will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.
Non-citizens will NEVER be able to hold political office.
Foreigners will not be a burden to the tax payers: NO WELFARE, NO FOOD STAMPS, NO HEALTH CARE,OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. ANY WHO ARE A BURDEN WILL BE DEPORTED.
If foreigners come here to buy land, their options will be limited, certain parcels and waterfront property are reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.
Foreigners may have no protests, no demonstrations, no waving foreign flags, no political organizing, no bad mouthing our President or his policies, this will lead to deportation.
come into the country illegality, you will be hunted & caught, sent to jail until your deportation can be arranged and ALL ASSETS will be take from you.
OLD GUY says
This makes me think this child is being used/coached to say this. The left media is NOT beyond producing false stories.
