If I remember correctly, there’s a Mormon belief that Latino Americans are the people of Israel (or something like that), so that’s probably Flake’s bias in a nutshell.
A woman fresh from El Salvador started working in an office where I worked during the late ‘90s. She told me the same and said that she was very excited about hooking up with some Mormons as soon as possible.
And here I always thought they were just WETBACKS!
