Several musicians have canceled concerts in Arizona in protest of the immigration debate. Lady Gaga did not cancel her concert but used the stage to urge the concert goers to speak out about the SB1070 bill, which critics say allows racial profiling and discrimination to curb the flow of illegal immigrants into the state.
