Shakira is speaking out about the “constant fear” that immigrants face in the United States today amid President Donald Trump‘s aggressive immigration policies.

The Colombian-born singer, 48, recently spoke with BBC News about how the U.S. has changed since she moved to Miami as a teenager to expand her music career.

“I was only 19 when I moved to the US, like many other Colombian immigrants who come to this country looking for a better future,” she said, adding that she relied on poetry and written works from Leonard Cohen, Walt Whitman and Bob Dylan to learn English and help “understand how the English language works within songwriting.”

Is she here illegally? If yes, leave.
If no, enough with the drama.

She should go back to Colombia with her children, I am sure she will feel much safer there. I hope her husband who divorced her because of her infidelity is collecting alimony from her.

Hey Shakira! You're not an immigrant! You are an illegal alien. If you actually were an immigrant, you would have nothing to fear. See the problem?
