This author makes the same mistake that most Libs make when discussing this subject. Don't confuse the conservative values of a legal immigrant, who stood in line for years at an American Consolate until they could prove they had the means and the ability to make it in this country, with an illegal immigrant who flaunts all laws to sneak into this country illegally, work illegally, then demand social services.
No, the author didn't make that same mistake. She was pointing out that others had.
This article is more a discussion about culture than immigration. But, you go ahead and try to deflect the real reasons behind the article - the myth of the conservative hispanic.
