Yes, after another poster pointed that out for me, I am now less concerned about her points, stats and articles. And now I have a basis to begin my rebuttal to the people I have to rebut to this weekend.
I knew there had to be something wrong, thank you all Freepers for helping me out here.
If you haven’t already seen it, here’s a good response to Chavez that was posted at National Review:

He shows that some of her stats have problems, but more importantly he points out that her basic argument, which is that undereducated Mexican immigrants perform slightly less badly by some measures than undereducated native-borns therefore there’s no problem with letting them come here, is bogus for the simple reason that Mexican immigrants are much more likely to be uneducated.
Read this piece and you will be well equipped to deal with people on Facebook etc. who are making Chavez type arguments.
