Ms. Eilish,
You deserve your accolades. You earned them by bringing entertainment to millions—if not billions. Congratulations on your awards, especially that Song of the Year win for “Wildflower” at the 2026 Grammys.
To get nominated—let alone win—in your field, you have to clear a high bar. The Recording Academy sets strict criteria: commercial releases, breakthrough impact, peer voting from pros, no shortcuts. Out of millions of artists worldwide, only the talented, driven, and exceptional make the cut. That’s how excellence works. You met it, you thrived under it, and America’s system of opportunity let you flourish. Respect.
Now, just like you, the American people—collectively, through our sacred agency—agreed on rules to be part of the American Family. We built the most successful nation on earth, a cut above all others, because we value merit, contribution, and commitment.
We respect your achievements and the criteria it takes to get accepted into that elite Grammy circle.
Well… Ditto!
If only the talented and qualified can enter that exclusive group, why can’t we ask the same of immigrants wanting to join our nation? Prove value, follow the rules, assimilate, show allegiance—no free passes, just standards that protect what makes America great.
Accountability. Assimilation. Allegiance. Apply them everywhere, or the hypocrisy shows.
America First—always.
