Shakira is once again using her platform to spotlight the realities of immigration in the United States. In a recent interview, the Colombian-born singer opened up about the emotional toll faced by immigrant communities, saying that being an immigrant in America today “means living in constant fear.”
Reflecting on her own journey, Shakira recalled arriving in the U.S. as a teenager hoping for a better life. She expressed that while her personal success has been extraordinary, many others in immigrant communities live with daily uncertainty and stress. Her comments arrive amid ongoing national debate about immigration policy and enforcement, including heightened ICE raids and deportation proceedings that have rattled families across the country.
“Now, more than ever, we have to remain united,” she said, emphasizing the need for solidarity and empathy. Shakira stressed that while governments may adjust immigration laws, the treatment of human beings must remain humane. Her remarks echo growing calls from activists and advocacy groups urging compassionate reform and a reexamination of how immigrants are perceived and treated in public discourse.
Fans have responded strongly to her comments, thanking the singer for speaking openly and authentically about an issue that affects millions. Her remarks come as she tours the U.S. on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour, further amplifying her message. With visibility, vulnerability, and a global platform, Shakira has positioned herself as not only a musical icon but also a vocal advocate for justice and dignity.
