Zoe Saldana Tells Immigration Critics to ‘Shut up’

Zoe Saldana is making a stand against the anti-immigrant comments that the Latino community has been receiving in the last couple of months.

In an interview with Latina magazine, the 37-year-old "Guardians of the Galaxy" actress opened up about her views regarding immigration and why critics should be open about the changes in demographic. Huffington Post reported that Saldana told all the haters to just "deal with it."

"This topic of immigration hurts because I don't want to be angry anymore," the actress was quoted as saying. "I don't believe that what anybody else is saying is true about me or my people. I'm kind of embarrassed when you see all of these people talking on national television."

Saldana grew furious and said that the only true Americans are the Native Americans and Latinos who have been through the same process as the Irish settlers or other cultures that seem to be lesser targets when it comes to the topic of immigration.

 "You can't kill us. You can't send us back," Saldana firmly said. "We are millions and millions here because it is our time to migrate. We are the youngest culture. We are doing what your people did. So shut up and just deal with it."

The actress said the current laws should be adjusted because they are not going away. Saldana became the voice of her people and said that people shouldn't be scared of the change because they are going to do "better" things for America, Fox News Latino reported. She also said candidly that they are not angry as the media suggest because they are a "culture that isn't angry."

The attack on Latinos started when Donald Trump made comments about how he plans to deport immigrants and ban others who wish to cross the borders illegally. This sparked rage in the Latino communities and one by one celebrities and famous names made their stance to protect their people.

Saldana said that Latinos are "very respectful" even though they were discriminated first. They took the high-road but said that they are going to keep quiet because they also have a right being workers in the country.

"I love this proprietorship, because this country does belong to Latinos, too. We're working here, and our sons are dying at war for the U.S. So it belongs to me as much as it belongs to my neighbor." Saldana added.
