In a new music video, Pitbull, Carlos Santana, Eva Longoria, and others proclaim “we’re all Mexican,” in a celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and protest against anti-immigrant political rhetoric, reports CNN.
Hispanic Heritage Month runs from mid-September to mid-October.
According to CNN,
The music video comes in the wake of a summer where the issue of immigration has been particularly polarizing, perhaps most notably through the rise of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, who angered many Latino advocacy groups in his presidential launch speech when he referred to some Mexican undocumented immigrants as ‘rapists’ and ‘killers.’ He's also called for an end to birth-right citizenship.
..."I see a lot of hate and a lot of things and a lot of bringing people apart and I don't think that's the future of this country," Estefan said on CNN's ‘New Day’ on Monday, where he premiered the video. ‘I need to select the president who brings love ... brings everybody together and I don't see that.’”
