DeLong on Ryan on Latinos

Nice quote from Brad DeLong on Paul Ryan and Latinos:

You know, Paul Ryan's self-image is of a rugged individualist, upwardly-mobile, eager to take risks and strike out for new frontiers, a pioneer willing to move thousands of miles and become a stranger in a strange land in search of opportunity--and not somebody obedient to picky bureaucratic rules and regulations. 

In short, Paul Ryan's self-image--and the self-image of a great deal of his cheering section, it happens--is that he is an illegal immigrant from Oaxaca. 

But he really does not like illegal immigrants from Oaxaca

True enough.
