The 'Sin City'star was part of a star-studded public service announcement (PSA) taking a standagainst the law, which gives Arizona police new powers to arrest and detainanyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant, reported Contactmusic.The 29-year-old actress insists she'll carry on fighting the regulation as it's an issue she and Robert Rodriguez, her 'MaChete' director, feel strongly about. "It's always been a relevant issue, for me andfor Robert, because we grew up with that reality and it just happened to be thata state did something really, really foolish and passed a very racist, foolishlaw," said Alba. "There's no way we can change it if we all just sitback and do nothing, so it's about engaging and getting people to stand up fortheir rights," she added.Follow us on Twitter for more stories
