Spotlight on Mindy Kaling: Not All Separated Children Are Equal

Like Corporal Singh, Mindy Kaling (born Vera Mindy Chokalingam) is of Indian descent. The forty-year-old comedian and actress grew up in New England, the daughter of educated immigrants (her father was an architect, her mother a doctor) and of privilege, attending a prestigious private school (Buckingham Browne & Nichols School) and an Ivy League college (Dartmouth). Now a single mother of a toddler girl and living in the ritzy Hancock Park enclave of Los Angeles, Kaling has plunged into social justice activism because, she told the Hollywood Reporter, “I’m Indian, and to think of the millions of babies who look exactly like my daughter, who don’t have the same advantages that she does, it is very chilling to me, and it’s very personal to me now that I see her face every single morning.”33

In June 2018, Kaling saw the face of her daughter in the faces of Latino children crossing the border illegally from Mexico into the U.S. “As a mother and a daughter of immigrants, I am heartbroken about children being separated from their families at America’s borders,” she posted on Twitter.”34 Kaling urged her nearly twelve million followers to donate to the ACLU and directed them to a resource page listing other pro-illegal immigration groups.35 Her tweet was accompanied by the infamous Getty Images photo of a terrified two-year-old girl purportedly torn from her mother by cruel jackboots enforcing President Trump’s family separation policy.

Except, of course, the narrative was faker than tofurkey wrapped in vegan bacon.

Little Yanela Sanchez became an instant poster child for the anti-Trump resistance after Getty photographer John Moore snapped her bawling in front of towering Border Patrol agents in McAllen, Texas. He dubbed her “Crying Girl on the Border.” The bright pink-sneakered toddler and her mother, Sandra, had crossed illegally into the U.S. across the Rio Grande River after a three-week trek from Puerto Cortes, Honduras. Moore told CNN that “the mother had to set down her daughter to be body-searched, to be frisked, before she was loaded into a van & taken away.”36 In a dramatic “behind the scenes” interview for Time magazine’s YouTube channel, Moore called the girl’s hysterical condition “an acute case of separation anxiety happening in front of me.”37 Time photoshopped Moore’s picture of Yanela on its cover with an image of President Trump looming over her and the snarky headline, “Welcome to America”—cunningly manipulated to stoke anger over the administration’s efforts to stop that summer’s well-orchestrated illegal alien flood. An animated tweet on Time’s Twitter account promoting the cover, which garnered more than two million views, lamented: “What kind of country are we?”38

As left-wing Vox described it, Yanela’s panicked face “embodied the horror of Trump’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy to prosecute all people crossing the border illegally, leading to the separation of families. It helped fuel the public outrage that forced Trump to backtrack by issuing an executive order to end the practice.”39

Actress Jennifer Lopez devoted an Instagram post to Yanela that garnered nearly 400,000 likes.
