Selena Gomez hits back at Senate candidate who called for her to be 'deported' after video sobbing over Trump's new orders

Selena Gomez became overcome with emotion about Donald Trump's new executive orders in a now-deleted video shared to social media.

Gomez, who is of Mexican-American heritage, posted a tearful video on Instagram in the wake of President Trump clamping down on immigration in the country.

The 78-year-old has declared a national emergency and ordered thousands of troops to head to the US-Mexico border.

He's also halted all refugee and asylum seekers admissions, and tried to stop people born in the States having a birthright to US citizenship.

Trump has also ordered for illegal immigrants be deported — something Gomez, whose grandparents were Mexican immigrants, became tearful about.

She said in the now-deleted clip: "I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children, I don’t understand. I wish I could do something."

Sharing screenshots of a Los Angeles Times article about Gomez's emotional video, Senate candidate Sam Parker weighed in.

"Selena Gomez picked illegals over America b/c she's the 3rd gen descendent of Mexican illegals who received citizenship in the '87 Amnesty," he wrote on Twitter.

"She has an entitlement attitude toward America, like her illegal g'parents. Maybe Selena should be deported, too?"

Now Gomez has responded to this threats.

"Oh Mr. Parker Mr. Parker. Thanks for the laugh and the threat," the singer posted to her Instagram Story.

Parker also seemed to find the ordeal amusing and posted a screenshot of her message to Twitter. He wrote alongside it: "Selena Gomez has responded to me. Lol."

Speaking on the Trump's deportation plans, border czar Tom Homan warned people who are in the US illegally that they're 'on the table'.

Homan used to work for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and his role of czar involves him advising the government on immigration and to coordinate policy in this particular area.

In Trump's own words, Homan is 'in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin'.

Speaking to ABC News, Homan said of the Trump administration's plans: "If you’re in the country illegally, you're on the table, because it's not OK to, you know, violate the laws of this country.

"You got to remember, every time you enter this country illegally, you violated a crime under Title Eight, the United States Code 1325, it's a crime."

Homan went on: "So, if you're in a country illegally, you got a problem. And that's why I'm hoping those who are in the country illegally, who have not been ordered removed by the federal judge, should leave."
