Utah's Arturo Morales Llan: Is legal immigration advocate a hero or hypocrite?

The debate took a sudden, personal turn. The event had focused on whether Utah should pass a tough Arizona-style enforcement law on immigration, but a man stepped to the audience mic to attack Arturo Morales-LLan — who supports legislation that most Latino leaders vociferously oppose.

The critic pointed and said, “You talk about obeying the law … but you broke the law.” He publicly alleged that Morales-LLan worked without legal permission when he first came to America on a student visa. Others yelled “Sí” in agreement during a recent all-Spanish debate at Salt Lake City’s Northwest Middle School.
