Rally in support of illegal immigrants with American children


LOS ANGELES A handful of protesters rallied outside a federal building in downtown Los Angeles today in support of illegal immigrants who have U-S-born children.

Members of the National Alliance for Immigrants' Rights say they are motivated by Elvira Arellano, a Chicago woman who is staying at her local church to avoid deportation.

Arellano is in the country illegally but has a 7-year-old son who is an American citizen.

U-S law extends citizenship to anyone born on American soil. But having American children does not keep an illegal immigrants from being deported.
