Two popular singers are in Arizona on Thursday to voice their opposition to the state's tough new immigration law.

Grammy Award-winning Colombian singer Shakira will meet with Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon at City Hall in the evening. Gordon has called the law unconstitutional and has said he may sue on behalf of the city to stop the law from taking effect.

Legendary singer-songwriter Linda Ronstadt will attend a rally that organizers say will draw thousands. Ronstadt grew up in a Mexican-American family in Tucson.

The new law requires police to determine whether a person is in the United States legally. It also requires immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there is reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally.

Critics say the law will foster racial profiling.

that her family didn't move...the border did!

I always liked that.

donates like mad to build and fund schools in Central and South America, like millions IIRC.

One sings with her voice, the other with her butt. Shakira came off badly at Obama's inaugural celebration because she HAD to stand still. But that's not to say that I don't appreciate her efforts.

:rofl:

and she is a kind and decent human being.

Thanks for the thread, sinkingfeeling.:thumbsup:

Even if those artists come from some other state in the Southwest, I believe, all artists and others who have some clout should descend on Arizona to make their case.
