Cypress Hill, Governator & More Boycott Arizona

Cypress Hill announced on Tuesday (May 11) that they had canceled an upcoming concert in Arizona to protest the state’s controversial immigration laws. The Latino rappers are showing their support for immigrants and allies by dropping their performance in Tucson, which was set to take place May 21.

The group released this statement for fans:

“This decision was made in an effort to show support and solidarity with those, undocumented and otherwise, being directly affected by this unconstitutional law. Cypress Hill recognizes those living in the struggle for their basic civil rights.”

Cypress Hill is part of a growing list of celebrities who are speaking out against Arizona's bill, SB 1070. Shakira, Juanes, Rosario Dawson and others are demanding reform such as the DREAM Act, which would provide undocumented students with a conditional path to citizenship.

On May 1st, students and activists held marches and protests all over the nation to fight for immigration reform.

Even California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has raised his concerns. "I was also going to give a graduation speech in Arizona this weekend," he joked at a recent press conference. "But with my accent, I was afraid they would try to deport me."

Do you think that celebrity support is helping or hurting the immigration controversy? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3!
