“mid this newfound activism, one cause has been absent: support for immigration reform in the United States.

The omission is glaring, not only because so many Latin acts that are now citizens of this country initially came here as illegal aliens, but also because many of the people who support their music are here illegally and under siege. Indeed, fear of immigration crackdowns have had a direct impact on Latin concert attendance and album sales, according to promoters, managers and retailers.

Why then haven’t Latin artists mobilized behind these issues?”*
