“One word they use a lot is ‘tranquilo,’ which means ‘tranquil,’ ” explains Carlos Cervantes. “The reason that they enjoy Arkansas is that they enjoy the small towns. They just feel real comfortable here.”

Not a whole lot of context here...is this a source that requires excerpting? What does any of this mean?

If I had to guess, I'd say it carries the same tone as the press reports coming out of Phoenix to explain why our Proposition 200 wasn't necessary. Is that the point being made in this article?

Nevertheless, Compadre is hopeful about the future for Latinos in Arkansas.

“The immigration system in the U.S. is not working, and it is causing troubles for immigrants and to society,” he said. “But there are many historic examples of things not working and people change it. One hundred years ago females couldn’t vote. In the 50s and ’60s, people of color could not eat in the same restaurants as whites. . . . What we believe is that [undocumented immigrants] are not criminals. Not having documents is a civil offense, not criminal. These people are helping us to build our society. Under the immigration laws we have, these people are suffering. We have to help them become good American citizens.”

Wrong. Not only are they criminals, they have no intention of becoming good American citizens.

It is a very long poorly written article. But there are some interesting facts embedded.

"Is that the point being made in this article?"

No...the point is that our RINO governor loves illegals almost as much as our president. Add two worthless, socialist RAT senators and a political system clogged by Clinton democRATs...well, you figure out what we're dealing with here. The southern 2/3 of the state is a political wasteland.
