[Peace-discuss] oye como va

["E. Wayne Johnson 朱稳森"]

ATLANTA -- The stage on the infield grass for the pregames ceremonies at 
baseball's Civil Rights Game included actor Morgan Freeman and Hall of 
Famer Ernie Banks, but also the Grammy-award winning artist Carlos 
Santana, a fan of the Oakland Athletics.

Santana caused a stir in Turner Field on an appropriate day to be 
talking about social issues.

Santana was on stage to receive Major League Baseball's Beacon of Change 
award. He took the microphone and said Arizona and the city of Atlanta 
should be "ashamed" for passing immigration bills, that have been 
criticized widely as racially motivated.

Santana was booed by some fans in Turner Field.

Gov. Nathan Deal signed Georgia House Bill 87 on Friday. It will allow 
law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of some 
suspects and requires employers to check the immigration status of new 
hires.

Santana spoke with the media in the press box during the Phillies-Braves 
game and said there should be a boycott in Georgia by Latin workers.

"I would invite all Latin people to do nothing for about two weeks so 
you can see who really, really is running the economy," Santana said. 
"Who cleans the sheets? Who cleans the toilets? Who babysits?

"I am here to give voice to the invisible."

"Most people at this point they are either afraid to really say what 
needs to be said, this is the United States the land of the free," 
Santana said.
