Comment: "I liked Margaret's and Arrigo's answers, too, but to me ear, "to the core" seems to convey it best (plus it retains the core/heart idea). Hope you're having wonderful fun this holiday season, Carol!"

at heart
I think the expression in English is the same. Means she is not really a "wetback" (not sure what descamisado means) but in her heart, she feels like one and fight for their rights.
