> It invalidates the fact Latinos have been here for a long time and formed families and participate of society in a law abiding way, and now in a few words from this guy they're all back to being tourists and illegals
I understand your point. But I think this could have been an unintended lost-in-translation kind of mistake?
The U.S English definition of 'Latino' is different from the Latin American Spanish meaning of 'Latino/Latinoamericano'.
Maybe they meant to say "Latinos en Estados Unidos", and translated it as "US Latinos" instead of "Latin Americans in the US".
