Does it strike anyone else that this is fluff? How the heck did some unknown journalist (notice I didn't say reporter) in VA get an interview, translated at that, with a Honduran who should have already had his rear hauled back across the river?
You get the prize. "Interviews" like this are pushed at the media by the hispanic agitation groups (MALDEF, LULAC, La Raza) and the Mexican government (although this one is not about a Mexican, so it probably came from one of the pressure groups).
About a year ago the Denver Post ran a series of sob stories about a poor Mexican illegal who had gone to high school on the Colorado taxpayer dime and now he couldn't afford to go to school at those terribly high out of state rates, and gosh isn't that mean of us? Turned out that the whole series was being run out of the Mexican Consulate: they picked the subject, ran the interviews, gave them to the paper, etc.
It's all about getting more and more gringo cash in their pockets.
