Mexican Legislators Will Travel to Chicago to Visit Elvira Arellano

CHICAGO, Feb 09, 2007 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ --

Mexican legislators have traveled to Chicago to meet with Elvira Arellano, an illegal alien who defied a U.S. government order that she turn herself in to the Department of Homeland Security for deportation. The 31-year-old woman was arrested in 2002 during an immigration sweep at O'Hare International Airport. U.S. officials noted that Arellano had already been deported once in 1997, and that she had a criminal conviction for Social Security fraud.

Rosanna Pulido, Illinois spokesperson for You Don't Speak for Me, a national coalition of American Hispanics who oppose illegal immigration, states, "Actually Elvira Arellano is a testament to the utter failure of the Mexican government. Because of widespread corruption, the government of Mexico has consistently failed to provide economic opportunity to millions of Mexican people and encourages them to violate U.S. immigration laws. The Mexican government could care less about people like Ms. Arellano. What they are really here to protect is the $23 billion a year that the millions of Mexicans living in the U.S. send home to Mexico," Pulido charged.

You Don't Speak for Me holds the U.S. government complicit in creating the nation's illegal immigration crisis. "Elvira Arellano is also a testament to the unwillingness of the United States government to uphold the rule of law and enforce its own immigration laws. This failure has undermined our sovereignty while harming the interests of countless Americans," said Pulido.

You Don't Speak for Me also condemned attempts by the Mexican legislators and illegal alien rights activists to exploit Ms. Arellano's son for their own political ends. "Children are not human shields," declared Pulido. "It was his mother who put the boy in a difficult position when she knowingly broke multiple laws in this country. Whenever parents are held accountable for breaking the law their children are inevitably harmed. We all regret when that happens, but no justice system in the world can allow parents to hide behind their kids.

"Instead of coming here and posturing for the television cameras back home, these Mexican legislators could spend their time and energies far more productively instituting reforms in Mexico that allow people like Ms. Arellano opportunities at home," Pulido concluded.

Tell them to take that kid and his mother back to Mexico where they belong!

take the b*tch back to mexico with ya
and get the hell out of my country and stop telling my
elected officials what you as a mexican government wants

this is the US not Mexico.

I thought they went to Chicago yesterday? I was scouring the news looking for a story about it last night. It's way beyond time for her to be arrested and deported!

Send the mexicans home along with the kid and his criminal mother. She was deported before she had the kid and came back and had the kid knowing that she was a criminal. Social security fraud sends americans to jail but not this woman. ICE needs to go to the church and deport the woman. She is more than just an illegal alien, she is a criminal in every sense of the word.
