THIS JUST IN: BILLIE EILISH ENDORSES ICE! Aussie Influencer Says Pop Star’s Mansion Joke Got Him Booted From the U.S.
An Australian influencer has lashed out at pop star Billie Eilish, claiming she got him “deported” from the United States after he mocked her Grammy Awards “stolen land” speech by launching a crowdfunding effort to “move into” her multimillion-dollar mansion in Los Angeles.
To be fair, Eilish’s speech—in which she declared that nobody is illegal on stolen land—ranks among the dumbest celebrity remarks yet about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations launched by the Trump administration to remove criminal illegal aliens. No one stole this land. People conquered it. Those are not the same thing.
What the celebrity class refuses to confront is the obvious follow-up question: if the United States returned the land to Native Americans, which tribe would receive it? Tribes constantly fought each other over territory. No one can definitively determine original ownership. Conquest decided the matter. End of story. And by Eilish’s own logic, her mansion sits on “stolen land,” meaning she should either open it up to illegal aliens or hand it over to a Native American tribe.
That outcome seems unlikely. Virtue signaling costs nothing. Practicing what you preach costs everything. Hence, you’ll probably never see someone famous actually doing what they demand everyone else do.
“Billie Eilish got me deported from the US—I think her legal team contacted DHS,” Drew Pavlou wrote in a post published Sunday on X. “I spent 30 hours at LAX immigration trying to explain that my s—posts were just a joke and that I didn’t actually plan to personally move into her mansion.”
Conquest’s First Law of Politics: Everyone is conservative about what he [or she] knows best.
