well it turns out all of them are quite mum on the subject, to avoid controversy i'm sure. but leave it to my girl salma hayek to speak out.
"As a human being, I find this situation intolerable. As an immigrant, I find it offensive. And as an American citizen, I find it disheartening. The work that these immigrants do directly affects the health of the U.S. economy. I have already been in contact with Latin activist Dolores Huerta and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in an effort to figure out what is the most effective way for me to participate in this movement. My company, Ventanarosa, in solidarity with the immigrants, was closed this past Monday and will again be closed on May 1 in observance of the protests."
So far, Danny Glover is the only other celebrity voice backing the immigrants. Andy Garcia and director Robert Rodriguez wouldn't comment; Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan and Rosario Dawson couldn't be reached.
A rep for Marc Anthony said he was out of the country - he'll perform in the Dominican Republic tomorrow - and therefore "unavailable." We pointed out that, with mobile phones and hand-helds, it is just about impossible to be out of touch these days. "He doesn't operate that way," Anthony's flack told us. (source: rush & malloy)
what do the celebrities think about the whole "immigration thing"?
