“Living in the US as an immigrant is a terror”

One of the last voices to rise against the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has been that of singer Shakira.

I was only 19 when I moved to the United States, like many other Colombian immigrants who come to this country looking for a better future, ”says the artist in an interview with BBC in which he denounces that living there being an immigrant“ means living in a constant terror ”.“ And it is painful to see him, ”he laments.

Now, more than ever, we have to stay together. Now, more than ever, we have to raise our voices and make it very clear that a country can change its immigration policies, but the treatment of all people must always be human, ”says the singer, who is there with her world tour.

It is not the first time that Shakira raises La Voz in support of the migrant community, because he already did it in the last edition of the Grammy, in which she was awarded in the category of Best Latin Pop Album. “I want to dedicate this award to all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country,” he said in his speech, adding that “always” would fight for them.

Currently, several celebrities have taken to the streets of the United States to protest against the antimigrant raids ordered by the Republican president, generating fear and chaos in the neighboring country.
