And I think we all know that they won't.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Elvira_Arellano, the illegal alien who has been holed up in a Chicago church for a year while sending her kid off to play for sympathy in press conferences on her behalf, now says that she'll leave the church to go to Washington DC to lobby Congress--OUR Congress, not hers (Her elected officials are in Mexico.)--and she dares ICE to try to arrest and deport her again.
For those unfamiliar with Elvira, she snuck into our country back in 1997 from Mexico. She was arrested and deported by our government. She then snuck right back into our country just a few days after being deported and this time she got herself pregnant and cranked out an anchor baby, figuring that now she couldn't get deported again. She then went to Chicago where she used a fraudulently-obtained social security number (stolen from an American) to get a job at O'Hare Airport. A post 9/11 security check caught her and she was tried and convicted of stealing and misusing the social security number and then ordered to appear before an immigration judge for what would have been her second deportation. But instead of obeying our laws--for once--she ran and hid inside the Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago and began proclaiming that she had "sanctuary" and protection from our government. And the spineless officials at ICE, following the mandate of President "I love illegals" Bush, refused to go get her and allowed her to become a cause celebre.
Her schtick is that deporting her would harm her son because he has a right to a mother and it would not be fair to take her away from him. Well that argument should have fallen on it's face years ago because there's nothing at all stopping her from taking her son Saul (really a baby Mexican) with her back home. If we must recognize his claim to American citizenship, fine. He can come back when he's an adult. But the mere fact that he got citizenship here by virtue of being a bastard kid to an illegal alien criminal doesn't mean that the illegal alien criminal gets the benefit of de facto citizenship herself.
But Elvira's been playing this for all it's worth. She puts her kid out in front of any camera or legislative body she can find, even Mexico's. (He can apparently go there to lobby for his momma but can't go there to live with her.) Young Saul, obviously well-coached, tearfully begs everyone not to take his mother away from him.
(Again kid, you can always go with her.) And it's working for her. She's the darling of pro-illegal groups and leftist organizations. Jesse Jackson and his wife rally behind her (and the cameras) and On May 3, 2007, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL), introduced legislation which would grant legal immigrant status, with the possibility of applying for permanent residence status, to her. Fortunately that bill hasn't gone anywhere...yet.
So now she plans to come to our nation's capitol, and she even plans a fast on our National Mall. She has no representation in our government and no legal right to be anywhere in this country other than in a detention facility pending deportation, but she's banking that her fame and her supporters will keep our government agents from doing their job and locking her up.
This is just a travesty, and she needs to be arrested and deported immediately. It's bad enough that she plays that game in Chicago (A Democrat-controlled sanctuary city) but if she's not detained and deported on her trip or after her arrival in DC, then it'll be even more evidence that our system is fatally flawed beyond redemption. Apparently the concepts of "equal treatment" and "Justice for all" can be subverted by any criminal who can spawn offspring and exploit it for personal gain.
Deport Elvia Arellano and deport her today.
