Hey laugh all you want, artists make bring a ton of cash in for venues. It may not be important to you or politically important at all, but it can hurt the business in that state.

Never fails to amaze me. Yes I know some folks actually care what celebreties think. But damned if I know why.

So are millions of illegals hurting that state and therefore the laws to remove them. If these celebrities are so anti-American they can't see the logic in that, then who'd want to see them anyway?

Actually this could be a good thing.The more they complain the more attention they bring to the issue.Who do you think will get sick of hearing it first.The Pro- Illegal crowd that doesn't have a legitimate gripe or the Anti Illegal crowd that is already sick of paying for these lawbreakers and their Anchor Babies.I say bring it on.They can have Univision run 24 hour telethons or have a Super Sabado Gigante Special that non Spanish Speakers don't watch anyway.

This is HILARIOUS,I say go for it.You can have Ricky Martin "perform".And then you can have a tape loop of Memin penguin and show how all inclusive Mexican culture is ?MemÃ*n PinguÃ*n - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Maybe Obama might be amused?Before Illegal Aliens and their supporters cry Racism maybe they should look at themselves and their own culture before speaking.BTW the Mexican government awhile back honored this "cartoon character" with his own stamps.

So should we hold the United States accountable for Birth of a Nation, and all the Blackface acts and *****ni nny characters that inspired Memin Pinguin?
Don't be a hypocrite.
Look familiar?

So I guess Shakira will be in Phoenix to protest the new Immigration Bill. Maybe she can find a venue to perform in while she's here and we can all decide to boycott that...

Madonna? Is she still around? I highly doubt any of these pop celebrities would miss a chance to earn some millions of dollars by boycotting any state, nor miss a chance to jump in front of cameras.

If they really care about poor Mexicans, why aren't they going to Mexico and giving free concerts? They're all only about money.
