Acting American to Avoid Deportation

Text on the meme

Acting as Americans so Trump doesn't kick us out WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS ABOLISH I.C.E. Nobody is illegal

What it means

A video rapidly cuts between workers and protesters awkwardly bending over or pretending to be exhausted while doing physical labor and holding immigration protest signs. The joke is that immigrants are absurdly “acting as Americans” to avoid being expelled under Trump, using exaggerated behavior as a reaction to anti-immigration politics.
