The new Arizona law on immigrants is causing a lot of outrage from people coming from different backgrounds.

Now the creator of the hit show “Family Guy” has also spoken against the law which allows cops to stop people and ask them for proof and documents that they are in the United States.

Seth MacFarlane told Reuters Television in an interview on Thursday, “It’s too much. It’s kind of a slap in the face, it’s not the way to handle it…Nobody but the Nazis ever asked anybody for their papers. Walking down the street, a cop can come up to you and say ‘May I see your papers?’ — I think they should be required to ask that question in German if the law sticks around,” adding that the new law which was signed last week is more shocking than anything he’d ever done on his irreverent animated television comedies.

On Thursday, Colombian singer Shakira has met with the mayor of Phoenix to help campaign against the law, calling it “unjust and inhuman.”

Latin singer Ricky Martin also told the audience on Billboard Latin Music Awards in Puerto Rico to put a stop to discrimination. Put a stop to hate. Put a stop to racism…Long live love, long live peace.”
