April 30th, 2010 - 1:31 pm ICT by ANI
London, April 30 (ANI): Colombian singer Shakira is protesting a new tough immigration law in Arizona, United States.
According to AZCentral.com, the 33-year-old singer met with the mayor of Phoenix, Phil Gordon and other government officials at City Hall to talk about the controversial law, reports The Daily Express.
If an immigrant does not have a proof of a legal residency in Arizona, he is found guilty and committing a criminal offence under the law. The police have been ordered to any person suspicious of residing illegally.
“She is in town to talk to the Mayor about the harmful effects of this bill,” City of Phoenix spokeswoman Debra Stark said. (ANI)
