Emilio Estefan was watching the news during the summer and was increasingly saddened by the racist and xenophobic rhetoric he kept hearing on television about Mexicans and immigrants.
It was those hateful and “not positive things” about Hispanics that motivated the Cuban-American music producer to write “We’re All Mexican” – a raucous anthem celebrating the love that many immigrants have of living in the United States. [they seem to like the welfare more than they like the English language]
“We have so many problems, and they are talking about Mexicans being rapists and killing people. That wasn’t right,” Estefan told Fox News Latino ahead of the song’srelease on Monday. “We love this country. We don’t take things for granted.”
He said the song is about the “love affair” immigrants have with the United States.
“It’s not about Donald Trump. It’s not about politics,” Estefan added.
