Jessica Alba defends her Mexican descent in response to the American immigration debate during the Mexican premiere of Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Jessica says: There's no denying that it's something that needs to be solved. There needs to be a mutual, beneficial agreement.

We're not going anywhere and I think we need think of ourselves as being part of a global world rather than America living in it's own little bubble. The world just doesn't function like that anymore.

I'm so proud to be where I'm from and I think that there's nothing better than to represent that in American film where we can go all over the world, globally and we can transcend stereotypes.

Jessica Alba's global success and reputation puts her in a position to support the Mexicans with force.
