Thread: New Elvira does not abandon its struggle for reform...

This is from La Raza. Even the reporter admits Flor has not had the same attention as Elvira. She might be left in that hole in the wall storefront church until Slim closes it down??!! I believe I read that she is going on a hunger strike too? Google translation of article



Already exceeded the eight months

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. "

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

I imagine you do. Moreover, I'm sure all criminals would love to avoid prosecution for their crimes. As Dr. Phil would say, it's time to get real!

If nothing else it looks like the church is feeding her good. She could stand to go on a fast.

Barack Obama and John McCain "have to be sensitive and listen to our claim, which is 12 million undocumented. "

Why? They don't listen to us - the citizens who vote. Why should they listen to you?

Elvira burned people out......atleast the general population. I mean there's making a stance and then beating a dead horse to where it has no impact anymore. There's a time to speak up and a time to shut up and this group just doesn't seem to know when to stop. Every time they open their mouth it's the same rant and they do more damage to their "cause" than anything.

Her children are living in Mexico and this dumb woman still claims that ICE will separate families. Technically, if ICE deports her she would be reunited with her family.

She has left her three children behind deliberately? Deport her to an island in the middle of nowhere. She doesn't deserve to be kindly escorted back to Mexico to be reunited with her abandoned children. She is the worst kind of MOTHER!

You nailed it LawEnforcer! Wonder who's supporting the 3 kids while she's been chilling here for 8 months? They obviously don't need whatever money she was sending them, IF she was sending anything at all. Doesn't look like she's been starving herself either.
DEPORT!!!!

So she was 15 when her oldest child was born and likely 14 when she became pregnant. Must be some of those family values that don't stop at the Rio Grande.

The kids were "cropped" and "dropped" in mexico.

Atleast she wasn't aware of the "anchor baby" loophope.
