Should a governor be pro-illegal activity?

The Christian Science Monitor puts forward a brain dead question in a recent headline:

Susana Martinez: Can a Latina governor be anti-illegal immigration?

It continues:

The announcement last week by New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) that her paternal grandparents came to the US illegally brought national attention to a small but growing trend in American politics: the rise of the anti-illegal immigration Latino.

I just don’t get it. I happen to be what is defined as ‘Latino’ for check box purposes. I don’t think I have any illegal immigrants in my family; they happened to be here when the US took over so they were just assumed to change citizenship. Anyway, regardless, it boggles the mind whenever some nitwit decides to determine what an entire subset of people must believe as a result of their skin color and ancestral heritage. And what’s with all the consternation over the Governor of a state opposing illegal activity? Perhaps it’s popular in some circles to oppose the law, but it is the law and at the top of national identity is sovereignty and the ability to determine immigration policies.
