The undocumented Mexican Flor Crisostomo, who for eight months resisting an order to deport a refugee in a church in Chicago, performed a fast to draw the attention of presidential candidates on the need for immigration reform.

"I have faith that everything is going to fix, but we have to keep up the pressure," Crisostomo said in a telephone interview.

This woman of 29 years and mother of three children, 10, 12 and 14 years living with grandparents in Mexico, became the last on January 28 in "the other Elvira," to follow in the footsteps of Elvira Arellano and seek sanctuary in the same Adalberto Methodist Church of Humboldt Park neighborhood, north of the city.

However, his case has not had the same impact that the media of Arellano, who was a refugee years after he left Chicago and headed to Los Angeles, where he was detained by immigration agents and deported to Mexico.

With a lower profile, Chrysostomos has been housed in the church practically on the sidelines of the news, but with the same determination to resist deportation.

THE ONLY THAT did not obey

"We want an end to raids, a life of dignity and right to work in peace," he said.

Crisostomo came to this city in 2000, and worked Undocumented until April 2006, when along with 25 other Mexican immigrants in the same condition was arrested at the plant from the timber recycler IFCO Chicago.

The activist claimed the attention of Republican and Democrat candidates on the migration problem, "although we know they are occupied by the financial crisis."

However, he said, "we immigrants are always in crisis, we've been poor all their lives and we are concerned both live in recession."
Chrysostomos, who was the only person arrested in IFCO not obey the deportation order after several postponements of hearings and in court, said that Barack Obama and John McCain "have to be sensitive and listen to our claim, which is 12 million undocumented. "
