Ms Arellano crossed our border twice illegally and used a phony social security number to work. Both of these are felonies. The fact she is free in Mexico instead of serving time in a federal prison is extremely compassionate treatment. Her son can join her in Mexico.
Submitted by: USCitizen 10:48 AM PDT, Aug 21, 2007 She should have been arrested when she went to the Chicago church for sanctuary. She is a felon. She came to LA and stood on an American sidewalk, so she should be deported. Her son is now with her. He is the most harmed by her self-centered actions!
