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.”

I got her women’s issues right here.

[pnh102]

I’ll give her amnesty.

the rising discrimination against undocumented workers.

Geez, she's a dufus.

[a fool in paradise]

Why would Spain give a rat’s a** about protection for illegal immigrants from Mexico coming into America?

[dfwgator]

Maybe Salma needs to look at how Mexico treats their “undocumented workers.”

[babble-on]

strip search!

[a fool in paradise]

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

The corrupt politicians call them "undocumented immigrants". But they DO have documents. Falsified identities, stolen social security card numbers, illegal voter registrations...

It worked.

I had to endure the worst time of all in terms of racial discrimination in Hollywood when I first started out,” Hayek said in the interview. “It was inconceivable to American directors and producers that a Mexican woman could have a lead role

You weren’t here illegally.

As a major star in Mexico and having education in Louisiana, you would know the laws regarding International Travel.

Further, you had the means to travel as a major Mexican Actress, you earned a considerable sum of money. You likely traveled to other countries who also have similar laws for Visa and Passport requirements.

And Puhlease, you studied with several friends of mine at Stella Adlers and let’s face it, you got into her class because of your resume.

She didn’t just accept anyone and you likely had letters of recommendation just like my friends, who you also know.

The only thing illegal about you is your looks and they outa pass a law against such beauty as it can blind you.

BTW, you rode down the same elevator as I at the Rhiga Royal a few years ago and had kind of an attitude and the next year at a party, in Beverly Hills, at the Four Seasons you couldn’t have been more friendly.

From dusk to dawn?

Great flick!!! And there is amazing parallels between it and Tarantino's later flick Pulp Fiction if you really compare the dialog and soundtrack.

Good God Almighty - praise His creation.... We need the amusement park approach to immigration - build the wall, but add a gate. Put up the sign with her picture stating: "No entering America unless you are at least this smokin' hot."

Small print underneath stating the exception for those who can field the shorthop grounder and bat at least .230

[Vendome]

Man you gotta travel to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and especially Chile.

The women are amazing and dress for the men.

[Trajan88]

No doubt she sold access to a body part(s) to get to the front of the line.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I believe my heart skipped a beat at the thought

[hoyt-clagwell]

You can bounce quarters off of that stomach...WOW

[GeneralisimoFranciscoFranco]

Ok, amnesty for all Salma Hayak look alikes.

[smokingfrog]

For her I make exception.
