Salma Hayek talks about her humble beginnings, her former undocumented immigrant status and her charity projects in the new issue of V Magazine Spain, where the Mexican actress seductively poses for the cover titled “A Woman’s Weapons.”

Hayek’s involvement with women’s issues has distinguished her in Hollywood. Her advocacy includes promoting awareness programs about violence against women and on the rising discrimination against undocumented workers.

“I was an illegal immigrant in the United States,” Hayek said during the interview. “It was for a small period of time, but I still did it.”

WHAT NO PICTURES????

An illegal immigrant who is taking the steps to correct the situation is not a big problem for me. It’s the illegal immigrants who insist that they don’t need to become a legal immigrant who are the problems.

Even bigger problems are those politicians who insist that illegals don’t need to become legal.

So-o-o-o....did you go through the process of becoming a legal American citizen or are you still a Mexican citizen?

Read the comments at the site. Very good.

I wonder if her father was an illegal immigrant to Mexico when he came from Lebanon?

[RichInOC]

Not guilty. So say we one, so say we all.

[Liberty Valance]

“I was an illegal immigrant in the United States,” Hayek said during the interview. “It was for a small period of time, but I still did it.”

What a pathetic article, the interviewer/reporter did not deem a follow-up question of "what path did she take to change her status from illegal to legal" worthy of a mention?

1. Revoke citizenship.

2. Deport to Mexico.

3. Finish the WALL!
