Thread: Elvira Arellano starts hunger strike in Mexico.

Translated... Thanks to of REWHBLCAIN at SOS

That picture reminds me of a Hilter salute for some reason.

Her purpose is to pressure the Mexican goverment into action.

The First Parliament of Migrant Leaders met this morning in the Chamber of Congress, became a gateway for claims against the PAN Congresswoman, Maria Dolores Gonzalez Sanchez, who asked the audience not blame the United States government for all of the migratory phenomenon.

At the podium PAN Congresswoman also criticized the migrant Elvira Arellano, which sparked cries of complaints from Congressmen and other leaders migrants who were in the Plenary Hall of the House.


To pacify the shouts against her, Mrs Gonzalez Sanchez said that the Mexican federal government must also do their part.


However, even before she called to respect the United States, which for many who have been wronged by the U.S. government, came with a kind of revolt against the legislator.

In the same Tribune, Elvira Arellano announced in San Lázaro that she began today a hunger strike lasting until December 12, so that the Mexican government acts and listen to migrants, as well as to defend the families of those who leave this country in search of better opportunities.

She also denounced that it is known that the American government treats Mexicans as terrorists and mistreats and deports them, whitle "the (Mexican) government remains silent."


Later in an interview, Elvira Arellano said with tears in her eyes that she will keep her struggle to defend the Mexican migrants.

Maybe we could trade her for Loretta Sanchez or one of Mexifornia's other worthless Congress critters.

Hmm...

The congresswoman for the National Action Party I mean, not Elvira.

She really is an obsessed nutcase. She's probably starving over there anyway with nobody to feed and house her and take care of her and Saul like Rev. Slime did. I guess she's still steaming because she can't come back.

That is one woman that should never be allowed in America ever again.

I REALLY DONT CARE IF ALVIRA DECIDES NOT TO EAT FOR AWHILE. FRANKLY, I DONT SEE THE POINT IN HUNGER STRIKES. I MEAN....WHO CARES? SHE IS NOT GOING TO STARVE TO DEATH. SHE WILL EAT WHEN SHE GETS HUNGRY ENOUGH. AND THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE WHAT? NOTHING.

MEXICO CITY: A Mexican migrant-rights advocate deported from the U.S. said she began a hunger strike Friday to push her government to demand its citizens receive better treatment north of the border.

Elvira Arellano, a former illegal migrant who turned to activism during a yearlong fight to stay in the U.S., said she would starve herself "because I want our government to listen, to act, to defend our migrant families."

Speaking to a group of Mexican migrant activists, Arellano decried U.S. efforts to jail illegal migrants, put up security fences on the border and step up deportations.

"Is Mexico prepared to receive all of these deported people and their families?" Arellano said on the opening day of the "First Parliament of Mexican Migrant Leaders Who Live in the U.S."

"Is it prepared to guarantee an education to their children, who are U.S. citizens? Or is it prepared to defend them against all these attacks?" she said.

Along with opposing aggressive anti-immigrant measures in the U.S., participants are asking Mexico to reform its own laws by decriminalizing the migration of Central Americans and others to Mexico.

They also insist Mexico work to improve economic and social conditions at home to stem the tide of migration.

Arellano lived in the U.S. illegally for several years when immigration authorities there took notice. Defying a deportation order, she took sanctuary at a Chicago church for about a year, but left in August and was arrested and deported after giving a speech in Los Angeles.

Members of the Front for Mexicans Abroad, a grass-roots migrant-rights group in the U.S., held a small protest outside congress on Friday, claiming the event's participants are allied with President Felipe Calderon and do not represent migrants' best interests.

Hey Elvira- GIVE IT UP ALREADY! IT'S O-V-E-R! Your fifteen minutes of fame in this country, which you managed to stretch to more than a year, is over and done. We're glad you're free in your own country and out of ours. Enjoy yourself there in Mexico, life is short. Encourage your people to leave the United States of America if they're here illegally. Get together and use your time, energy, hunger strikes and tears to change YOUR country- not ours.

Good luck with that.
