Salma Hayek Criticizes Arizona's SB 1070, Calls To Obama For Reform

Salma Hayek Pinault isn't afraid her image will be tarnished by sharing her thoughts on the immigration controversy. The Mexicana, who is now a naturalized U.S. citizen, gave this candid response to Mexican news agency Notimex when asked about SB 1070:

“What surprises me is the lack of humanity with which they are treating the immigrants," she said. "What I can’t understand is how the United States, which is considered a hero around the world that helps other countries, doesn’t help the foreigners who enter their country. It’s a contradiction.”

This isn't the first time Salma has spoken out against laws that criminalize immigrants. Back in May, 2006, la actriz publicly criticized a bill being considered by the U.S. House of Representatives that would make being an illegal immigrant in the U.S. a felony. Hayek Pinault shared this response with the New York Daily News:

"As a human being, I find this situation intolerable. As an immigrant, I find it offensive. And as an American citizen, I find it disheartening."

Tell em', Salma!
