NEW YORK - Mexican pop diva Gloria Trevi, Puerto Rican reggaeton star Don Omar and other Latino artists have recorded a bilingual version of the U.S. national anthem in a show of support for migrants in the United States.

The Latino-oriented record label Urban Box Office (UBO) said Friday it would put the new Spanish-English version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" on the market Monday to coincide with the U.S. Senate's debate on immigration legislation.

Congressional debate over immigration bills proposing everything from toughened border security to the legalization of undocumented migrants in America have triggered huge demonstrations across the United States in recent weeks.

"We decided to re-record 'The Star-Spangled Banner' to show our solidarity with the undocumented migrants," said UBO President Adam Kidron. "Today we are Americans and 'The-Star Spangled Banner' represents everything to us."

The recording, dubbed "Nuestro Himno" or "Our Anthem," is set to "urban Latino rhythms" but respects the song's traditional structure, UBO said in a news release. Each artist decided whether to sing in Spanish or English.

The "Nuestro Himno" record will be sold for $10, with a portion going to Washington-based National Capital Immigration Coalition, UBO said. Besides Trevi and Don Omar, other artists on the record are Ivy Queen, Reik, Voz a Voz, Franco De Vita and Kalimba.

Hmmm...The Star Spangled Banner in Spanish?

I've suddenly seen the error of my ways, of course, nothing quite says assimilation like your national anthem sung in a foreign tongue. Nice try guys, still not buying.

And, as to the "National Capital Immigration Coalition" (the word illegal would burn our lying tongues like a thousand suns). Perhaps next time you should donate the money to a group that can muster enough self control to not fellate illegal aliens with such...abandon.

A simple Google search gives one the flavor of this group pretty quickly. Radical illegal lovin' unions, Communists and race baiting whores are just some of the malcontents and America haters they hang out with. If that's what passes for a good cause to y'all, thank you for being so transparently stupid!
