ATLANTA (AP) — Carlos Santana has used baseball's annual Civil Rights Game as a platform to admonish Georgia and Arizona for their new immigration laws.

Santana received the Beacon of Change Award before Sunday's Braves-Phillies game.

The Grammy-winning musician said he was representing immigrants before adding: "The people of Arizona, and the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves."

1. THIS Georgian is appalled. Yes. Of course, no one in GA on here voted for these clowns.

Sadly, we're stuck for a few years.

3. This one is, too.

4. I hope the courts will overturn HB 87

As long as our state is in the grips of the dumbass redneck wing of the Republican Party, we will be fighting this and other forms of bigotry.
