Shakira Believes Being an Immigrant in the US’means Living in Terror’
Shakira, a Grammy-winning Colombian singer, has spoken out against the grave socio-political instability that immigrants face in the United States. In a new interview with BBC, the Colombian pop star alluded to President Donald Trump’s attitude towards immigrants, which was one of the key tenets of his administration that was protested nationwide yesterday as thousands marched in cities from Los Angeles to Austin in the “No Kings” rallies, according to deadline.com.
When asked how it feels to be an immigrant in America today, the four-time Grammy winner replied, “It means living in constant fear, and it’s painful to see.”She said, “Now more than ever, we must remain united. Now, more than ever, we must raise our voices to clarify that a country may reform its immigration policy.
In another part of the interview, she spoke of her own immigration to the United States at 19, saying she was “like many other Colombian immigrants who come to this country looking for a better future.
In February, as she walked the stage at the Grammys to receive her award for Best Latin Pop Album for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, the “TQG” singer used the occasion to show solidarity with the immigrant population.
She stated, “I’d want to dedicate this honour to all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country. You’re adored. You are worth it, and I will always fight beside you.
