A good, quick report, with decent sourcing for its length. Very economical with data. This story is a good read coupled with the Times' editorial today comparing Barack Obama and John McCain's stances on immigration.

Adding viewpoints from Protestant Latinos themselves would have provided a needed voice in this piece.
