A prominent star in Major League Baseball has come out publicly against the new anti-immigrant law in Arizona. San Diego Padres hitter Adrián González is threatening to boycott next year’s all-star game if the law is still in effect. The law allows police officers to stop and interrogate anyone they suspect is an undocumented immigrant. González, who is a dual citizen of Mexico and the US, said, “It goes against what this country was built on. This is discrimination. Are they going to pass out a picture saying, ‘You should look like this, and you’re fine’? But if you don’t, do people have the right to question you? That’s profiling.”
