I guess it makes you easier to recognize I guess, how many Juan Perez do you think you're gonna find? A whole lot, Juan Perez Molina will make him easier to differentiate from the others I guess. It's mostly tradition I'd say.

It's common (if not a general rule) that the woman takes her husband's paternal last name and places it after hers. Say I'm called Carlos Juarez Montoya and my wife's name is Maria Fuentes Molina, after we get married her name would be Maria Fuentes Molina
de Juarez. I guess it's a way to declare ownership over women
, the other way around, the husband taking his wife's last name is unheard of (most latino cultures have a tendency to be sexist so...).
About the illegal immigrant thing, that's completely moronic.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
