The All-Star game was affected by immigration law protestors

By Anthony Caruso III

The Arizona immigration law has been a hot button issue since it was passed over a year ago.

Immigration law protestors have made their voices known outside of Major League Baseball's biggest event of the summer, the All-Star game. There were two separate immigrant groups that protested outside of Chase Field before the All-Star game.

The protestors may get their wish to change the law, as the law is currently being challenged in federal court. There were some baseball players against the law when it was passed.

Some guys even said they would skip the All-Star game if they were selected. However, those players must have changed their mind, because, according to MLB, there was no players or coaches skipping the All-Star game due to the law.
