The audio used in the clip comes from Michael Jackson’s controversial 1995 song “They Don’t Care About Us.” The song includes the lyrics “Jew me, sue me, everybody do me/ Kick me, kike me, don’t you black or white me.”

The video is very short, making it clear that the choice of lyrics was the intentional focus. Viewers are obviously meant to hear the antisemitic aspects, since it’s more or less the only audio in the 13 seconds being presented. DHS didn’t respond to questions from Gizmodo on Wednesday morning.

Comments on Instagram included people who clearly understood the message of the video as antisemitic. One commenter replied, “based song choice,” which was liked by the Border Patrol account. Another commenter wrote, “if you know you know.”

    Even the ones that were convicted often barely received punishment. Earlier today I was reading about one of the Nazi spies who infiltrated the German resistance and got lots of people executed or sent to the death camps. He was convicted after the war and sentenced to 15 years. He was out in less than 2. After he got out he had a family and went on to be a Stasi informer who snitched on his own daughter.
