Carlos Santana Blasts Georgia Immigration Law At Braves Game | TheLoop21.com
He was invited to Turner Field in Atlanta to speak before the first annual "Civil Rights Game" between the hometown Braves and Philadelphia Phillies. After being honored as a "Beacon of Change," Santana acted as such and spoke out against Georgia's recent passing of immigration law, HB 87 that is supposed to crack down on illegal immigration by increasing enforcement powers and requiring many employers to check the immigration status of new hires.
“The people of Arizona, the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves,” he said before being met with a round of awkward handclabs and boos from the crowd.
In a post-game press conference he continued.
“This [law] is about fear, that people are going to steal my job,” Santana said. “No we ain’t. You don’t clean toilets and clean sheets, stop shucking and jiving.”
"It’s an anti-American law. It’s a cruel law, actually," Santana added. "If you all remember what it was like here with Martin Luther King and the dogs and the hoses, it’s the same thing, only it’s high tech. So let’s change it.”
