MINNEAPOLIS - When I heard that P-Square was coming to the US for a tour, I was willing to travel to whatever city they were scheduled to visit because at the time, there was no word that they would perform in Minnesota. Then it was big news that they had indeed been nominated by the BET Awards for the “Best International Act”.

Last April, the State of Arizona passed bill SB1070, probably the toughest immigration law targeting undocumented immigrants ever enacted in the nation. This law allows state officials to inquire into the immigration status of any person based upon "reasonable suspicion" that the person is undocumented.
