Language: Sxsw and Immigration

language: It comes after a New York-based musician announced he was pulling out of the festival over immigration language in his contract, according to CTV. Word of the contract language caused swift reaction on social media and comes amid heightened fears of immigration crackdowns under President Donald Trump. SXSW announced the changes Tuesday ahead of the massive music, film and technology showcase starting later this week. SXSW organizers have said the clause about notifying appropriate U.S. immigration authorities had been a safeguard in case artists did something truly egregious, like starting a brawl or causing safety issues. SXSW says the language will be removed starting in 2018. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
