Pepe Aguilar Sparks Outrage with Immigration Comments: 'Do Things Legally'

Mexican singer Pepe Aguilar has sparked controversy with recent statements regarding immigration, delivered during a performance. In a clip circulating online, Aguilar can be heard urging individuals to 'do things legally' to become part of the United States, a country he described as 'forged on laws' and historically embodying 'honesty and kindness.' He further invoked the image of the Statue of Liberty, stating it 'illuminates all those who have nowhere to go and who can come here to work and make this country greater with their effort.' The video, shared by user @elmacarron27, includes a text overlay questioning Aguilar's remarks, particularly in light of his concerts often promoted as supporting migrants. The overlay asks, 'They do concerts to 'support' migrants and he gives an anti-immigrant speech? Does he think people are illegal by choice?' The comments section has been flooded with reactions, with many users criticizing Aguilar for what they perceive as a privileged and hypocritical stance. One comment read, 'He says 'do things legally' the man who was born in the United States and born into a golden cradle.' Another user stated, 'The Aguilars are Trump supporters, Mexico wake up, they only live off our music.' The debate highlights the ongoing sensitivity and division surrounding immigration policies and the role of public figures in such discussions.
