Earlier this year, Ray Stevens returned to the American music scene with his surprise smash hit “We the People” (the Obamacare Song.) As the title suggests, it was a commentary on the national health care legislation which was recently passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama. Last time I checked, the video had over 3.1 million views on YouTube!

Now, Ray Stevens jumps into the illegal immigration controversy. Ray speaks his mind on those who enter the United States illegally and take advantage of our generosity. As with his previous video, it interjects a bit of humor into a most serious issue which affects every American. You can download many Ray Stevens songs on MP3 for only 99 cents by using the Amazon.com link above.

We had a good discussion here on whether or not radio should play “We the People.” So, I thought I’d pose the same question for “Come to the U.S.A.” and open it up for debate. All I ask is that you keep the discussion civil.

Will radio play this? Is radio playing this? I have yet to hear any stations in my area give this song airplay. Is Ray Stevens’ “Come to the USA” getting airplay on your local stations?

Should radio play this? Or is the topic of illegal immigrants/illegal aliens too political and controversial for music stations to get involved with? I’d like to hear your thoughts in the comment section below.

Remember Ray Stevens?  Who could forget 1962′s “Ahab the Arab” or “The Streak” in the spring of 1974?  At age 70, Ray’s back with “We the People”, also known as “The ObamaCare Song.”  Ray speaks his mind on the health care bill which recently passed Congress. This song is fast becoming the unofficial anthem of the Tea Party movement. You can download the MP3 for only 99 cents by using the Amazon.com link above.
