Oh, I see, I thought this was a thread about LATIN CONSERVATIVES... but I see that all Latins are illegal in your eyes.

And yet you prove my point once again, if your are typical of what Latinos are replacing in American cities, good riddance. I'll buy a burger from you the next time I travel through Quartzite on my way to Taos for winter skiing. Oh, Latinos ski and actually (gasp) have lots and lots of money.

No, the article was about the lack of conservatism amongst Latinos. Maybe this section will jog your memory.

The myth of the redemptive Hispanic is finally cracking. For years, conservative open-borders advocates have touted Hispanic “family values” as a prime reason to increase immigration. Hispanic immigrants, these conservatives say, will save America from itself. At a time when Anglo and black families are disintegrating, when society is becoming increasingly atomized and alienated, Hispanics will bring the traditional values that the country so desperately needs. In a classic iteration of the theme, Larry Kudlow wrote on NRO last May that Hispanic immigrants would “become a much-needed churchgoing blue-collar middle class . . . that is crucial to a healthy America.”

The truth is now supplanting the fiction. Last Friday, the New York Times ran an editorial, “Young Latinas and a Cry for Help,” that laid out the real state of the Hispanic family. A quarter of all Latinas are mothers by the age of 20, few of them married, reported the Times. This out-of-wedlock teen-birth rate is three times that of white teens, and significantly more than that of blacks as well. The Hispanic dropout rate is also the highest in the country — the Manhattan Institute’s Jay Greene puts it at 47 percent.

No, not all Latins are illegal. Your argument is becoming more childish. Next you'll be telling me your dad can beat up mine.

This was my first comment, which, by the way, was not to you.

Anyone, who's not a complete idiot, can tell by looking at Latino countries what values Latinos will bring here.

Now, if you can name a Latino country in better shape than the United States I'll concede my error. Otherwise, I have ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT letters to write to my congressman.
