PHOENIX —
Colombian thespian Shakira planned to revisit Phoenix upon Thursday over concerns which a sweeping new state law enormous down upon bootleg immigration will lead to secular profiling.
The Grammy leader was set to encounter with Phoenix's military chief as well as mayor to sense some-more about how a law will be implemented if it goes in to effect this summer, pronounced Trevor Nielson, her domestic as well as munificent adviser.
The law, signed Friday by Republican Gov. January Brewer, is noticed as a toughest upon bootleg immigration in a republic as well as has drawn critique from President Barack Obama, who questioned its legality. The law creates it a state crime to be in a U.S. illegally as well as directs military to question people about their immigration standing if there is reason to think they're bootleg immigrants.
"Shakira is deeply concerned about a stroke of this law upon hardworking Latino families," Nielson said. "She is entrance to Arizona to try to sense some-more about how law enforcement is reacting to this new law as well as how you can ensure which people in a state of Arizona are not being targeted since of a color of their skin."
He pronounced Shakira canceled other commitments to have a revisit as well as also planned to encounter with Hispanic family groups in Phoenix to see how they'd be affected by a law.
Nielson pronounced Shakira also sought to encounter with Brewer during her revisit to Phoenix, but which a governor's director of scheduling told Nielson it wouldn't be probable since a governor was booked.
The new law bearing Arizona in to a international spotlight final week, with polite rights leaders as well as others perfectionist a boycott of a state, as well as a Mexican supervision notice its adults about an "adverse domestic atmosphere" in Arizona. At least three Arizona cities are considering lawsuits to block a law, as well as there are dual efforts to put a referendum upon Arizona's November list to repeal it.!
S upporters of a law contend it takes a handcuffs off military as well as is required to strengthen Arizonans, while opponents contend it will lead to rampant secular profiling.
