Eva Longoria «Shocked» by Some Americans Attitude Toward Immigrants

September 18, 2009

LOS ANGELES — Eva Longoria "Shocked" by Americans' Attitude Toward Immigrants, Supports Obama's Health Care Reform. Celebrity hair guru Ken Paves received the ultimate honor at PADRES CONTRA EL CANCER’S 9th Annual Fund Raising Gala in Hollywood last week for his contribution to the cancer community.

There was just one problem, he bagged the event and decided instead to hit up Brazil with his BFF Jessica Simpson and accepted the award via video.

A rep for Paves said "Ken was in Brazil filming his new reality show with Jessica Simpson, 'The Price of Beauty.' In this show they are going around the world and learning how each culture defines beauty. It is going to be a real hit!"

Paves did, however, offer to donate wigs from his line to the children in need in his video speech.

But the foundation's national spokesperson, Eva Longoria , managed to attend, and she talked to Tarts about why she is "shocked" by America's attitude to immigration.

"The immigration issue is interesting because historically everyone has immigrated, this is a country of immigrants," Eva Longoria said. "So it kind of shocks me that people have such a vile reaction to immigrants when they provide a huge amount of services to our country, and particularly in agriculture."

Longoria said she "would really love to see immigration reform obviously transpire, but in a way that is obviously fair to people in the country." But she said health care is more important right now. "One topic at a time, [Obama] can tackle the health care issue, and I completely support him on what he is doing currently, with his options that he wants to provide, and ... how he wants to fund it."
