Thread: Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security & Elvira Arellano

http://vdare.com/bevens/061223_christmas06.htm

t appears I have a thing for “lists” such as my Favorite Men List…I guess it just helps to keep my messy, jumbled mind a bit more well, organized.

Well here’s another one for you:
1. First (and absolutely foremost) I want Elvira Arellano deported.

You might remember this little pixie! She’s the twice-deported social security fraud convict who holed herself up in a Chicago church to avoid her latest deportation.

Her first run-in with La Migra was in 1997 when she was deported back to Mexico for trying to enter the United States with fraudulent documents.

The next deportation order took place in 2002 when she was busted working at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, again for using fraudulent documents.

(Apparently, she blames increased post 9/11 security for the bust as opposed to…I don’t know…the fact she was breaking the law by even being here.)

NOW THEN…in spite of her previous criminal behavior, some Congressman intervened on her behalf and somehow got an order delaying her deportation.

Apparently, her 7 year-old anchor baby son has Attention Deficit Disorder and needed medical care here in the U.S.

(Talk about attention deficit…sounds like mom has a pretty hard time paying attention to things like…rules.)

Her legal reprieve was temporary (of course) and Arellano was ordered to appear in front of a judge last August—she decided to seek out some type of medieval sanctuary in a local church.

Then she held myriad press conferences in which she bad-mouthed the United States and Americans for being unfeeling, unsympathetic pigs…more or less.

For this alone I wanted to chuck her out, although my exact words were a tad harsher! Something about tackling her and tossing her over the fence…(Here)

But then this whole wacky situation took a HUGE turn for the worse and became down right insane.

Elvira Arellano sent her child—a seven-year-old boy—to Mexico in an attempt to persuade them to take up her cause!! While he was there, he spoke to the Chamber of Deputies. Asking them, in Spanish, to

"[T]ell President Bush to end the deportations so that my mother and other families can stay together in the United States." [Boy Fighting Mom's Battle To Stay In U.S., CBS News, December 18, 2006]

She also sent him to Washington D.C. to do the same.

And yes, the pro-illegal immigration lobby is of course calling him an “activist” and the poster child for immigration reform.

For these reasons (and more) the deportation of Elvira Arellano tops my 2006 Christmas List.

Also;

I want Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Julie Myers fired.

Now that I look at it, I put the deportation of Elvira Arellano first but really, the sacking of Julie Myers could top my wish list just as easily.

Here’s the low-down:

At the height of Bush II’s cronyism, he made several monumental blunders, such as appointing John Bolton as the U.S. ambassador to the UN…(as opposed to pulling out of the UN altogether but, again, that’s another story).

There was also the Harriet Miers debacle in which he tried to appoint a woman with seemingly no credentials to the Supreme Court—that was a lot of fun.

It was during that thoughtless phase of his tenure (which lasted roughly seven years and counting) that he appointed Julie Myers to the top immigration enforcement post in the country.

He took a long hard look at the facts:

1. We have between 12 and 20 million illegal aliens running unchecked across the land

2. We have virtually no fence on the border with Mexico

3. We spend billions and billions of dollars subsidizing illegal immigrants via education, medical care and welfare

4. We have prevented our local law enforcement agencies from detaining or arresting illegal immigrants—all under the guise that it is “a federal issue”.

5. We have essentially no federal enforcement of immigration law for reasons that have yet to be explained

Indeed, the mess was plain to see; we were in trouble and only swift action at the hands of competent people could save us.

So Bush II appointed…a 36 year-old woman who lacked any immigration, border patrol or customs experience. In fact, her strongest asset according to her resume was her marriage to Michael Chertoff’s Chief of Staff.

Yeah…Michael Chertoff would be the current Secretary of Homeland Security and yet another bizarre, cronyism-driven appointment.

Apparently, her 7 year-old anchor baby son has Attention Deficit Disorder and needed medical care here in the U.S.

He can jaunt around the country with a bunch of Catholic priest so he must not be that bad off.

Just more evidence that GW is a total screw up!

These criminals come in to the USA and steal jobs and Bush just doesn't care. He knows many of our most needy have to compete with these criminals and he not only doesn't care he looks the camera in the eye and out right lies and says americans don't want these jobs.

And don't forget he usually smirks while doing so.

I've given this a lot of thought and the only logical reason I can come up with that explains why Elvira is still in this country is because she is serving a purpose. IMHO, the Bush administration feels she is helping his push for an amnesty and guest-worker program. In other words, why would someone halt something that is benefiting them?

Anyone have a better theory?

No MW I certainly do not have a better theory. Your theory is a very logical analysis of why it is in Bush's best interest to let this drag on..........once again this points out how nothing really matters except his agenda. The games just continue all around us.
