Immigration law in Arizona upsets Lady Gaga, and she believes SB 1070 is unjust. International immigration law is not as harsh as policies AZ adopts, and Mother Monster's love for Mexico has her livid about the law.
She was so angry with the harsh and biased immigration law the state of Arizona adopted, she wrote lyrics in a song about it.
The "Born This Way" pop star's song, "Americano" is inspired by Lady Gaga's dismay of how immigrants who come into the country legally are treated in Arizona.
The song also gives a voice to LGBT advocacy groups, gays, and anyone disenfranchised in the United States. Here's a sampling of the "Americano" lyrics:
"Don't you try to catch me/Don't you try to catch me/No, no, no, no/Don't you try to catch me/I'm living on the edge of the law, law, law, law."
On the one hand, it is great that Lady Gaga is using her celebrity to highlight issues that unfairly target a group of people because they are "different."
Hopefully, if she means well, the message about Senate Bill 1070 gets another look by the embattled Arizona legislature.
On the other hand, some people are reticent about getting behind Lady Gaga in this controversial issue. Their decision in treading cautiously is based on the fact that Mother Monster is a--celebrity, and that alone raises red flags.
Too often times, celebrities like Gaga use a public and emotional platform to bolster their record sales. Hopefully, she is on the level and the SB 1070 immigration law fades to black.
