Unfortunate Rhetoric

It's the same veiled bigotry that made it once acceptable to say that women were too hysterical to vote or blacks too ignorant to hold office - now it's immigrants with brown skin who are the target, and any factoid we can bring out of the murky woodwork to buttress the claim that immigrants (read: Hispanic, poor immigrants) are no good is fair to say.

Note this gem on Michelle Malkin's blog, by Heather McDonald:  Hispanics don't have family values.  Because apparently only licenses issued through government offices that most illegal immigrants are too afraid to frequent are the way to prove you are committed to your family.
