Dora the Explorer as an Illegal Alien Symbol?

In the past couple of weeks I have noticed a great many things going on in the world of things I grew up experiencing. One of which is Dora the Explorer. Dora is a great show for helping children with awareness of many things, some of which are greater morals, strategizing and memorization and even teaching the Spanish language. Now-a-days, this child icon is being used for illegal immigrants as a spokesperson. To me this is actually disturbing that she is such a bright symbol for children but in the terms of politics and adults could soon be frowned upon. Some things are just better left for the age group they were intended for.
