Raul Malo has voiced his fears that he may fall foul of President Donald Trump's war on immigration.
The singer, songwriter and guitarist with US country music giants The Mavericks, took to Instagram to share his concerns.
"Dear America," he began. "The words 'liberty and justice for all' have faded into a distant past. To some of us those words were deeply personal. My family came here because of those words. I was born here because of those words. I have had an extraordinary life because of those words. And now those words have lost their meaning."
Malo, who was born in Miami, Florida in 1965, to Cuban parents, explained further:
"Some will tell me that I should leave the country," he continued. "That may come true whether I want to leave or not. The way the new law stands, my mother could be stripped of her naturalised citizenship, then my sister and I would be illegal birthright citizens, and away we go."
Malo's poignant post came just days after the frontman gave an update on his recent battle with colon cancer.
"Thank you to everyone for their kind wishes and support throughout all of this," the All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down singer wrote on Instagram.
"It has not gone unnoticed, I assure you. My family at home, my crew, my band, my management... my whole entire crew is going through this with me."
