Martinez, who has drawn national attention and criticism from immigrant groups for trying to stop illegal immigrants from getting driver's licenses, has acknowledged her paternal grandparents came to the U.S. illegally.
"I know they arrived without documents, especially my father's father," the Republican said Wednesday in an interview in Spanish with KLUZ-TV, the Albuquerque Univision affiliate.

What a hypocrite.

Everytime a Hispanic doesn't tow the raza line they get accused of being "vendidos" to their own ethnic kind by the ethnocentrics.

Here is why she is a hypocrite. I believe she supports repealing birthright citizenship!

Many from my fathers side were alcoholics. I dont have a good thing to say about drunks. Am I a hypocrite?
She is admitting that illegal immigration is wrong and shouldnt be rewarded. She is correct.

And the reverse isn't possible for someone perceived as "White"?...

First, it isn't "Rule of Law" when she is attempting to change that law...

What about the supposition that she doesn't belong here being descended from at least one illegal immigrant?...

Her father is an "Anchor Baby", and she is an "Anchor Grandbaby"...

I don't recall any whites calling other whites "race traitors" because they don't approve of illegal immigration by white people.

The rule of law in this case was her grandparents not following our immigration laws and yet she is opposed to illegal immigration. She got called a hypocrite for that.

I have never stated that anchor babies aren't citizens by law according to the current interpretation of the 14th on birthright citizenship, so what are you talking about?

That doesn't make her a hypocrite. Just because she gained citizenship from her grandparent's illegal entry and the birth of her parents that should play no role in her opinion that birthright citizenship gained in this manner is not what the intention of the 14th was. It means she is a sensible, patriotic American, not a hypocrite.
