HECK NO >>>>DOUBLE HECK NO>>>>

WHY in the world are they doing this.....what makes her so special?? Just thumb your nose at the law and our govt. and they reward you with a Congressional Relief Bill! The world is crazy! This is plain wrong!

Please...take action. It's all good to express our outrage here on our message board but everyone needs to call their Congressmen and email them also! To pass this bill would make a mockery of our law and essentially spit in the face of all citizens who worked against passage of the Grand Amnesty Compromise.

Aren't there a couple of things out there designed to do the same thing? Since we should probably stop any and all attempts, maybe someone who knows what they are and where to find them, could post them all here in one spot?

I know I would appreciate it as I'm sure others would.


What's the deal with this anyway? Maybe it's just me, but I've got a feeling there's more behind this than just benefiting Elvira. I mean, would it be possible, if they succeeded in getting this passed, that it could then be used to try and ensure amnesty for the rest of the illegals in the country?

Knowing that these folks can't be trusted, and everything they do seems to have an ulterior motive behind it, it's just something I've been wondering about, that's all.

I agree. We need to take action on this ASAP.

Call your Congressperson and let them know "NO WAY"

Emailed my Rep.

I'm telling you, it seems we have to be very careful about who we vote into office now days.

We cannot vote in anyone that does not work for ALL Americans!

The reason that Congressman Guttierez would try to pass something like this is that Elvira Arellano has publicity. Somewhere some Mexican is going to be cut out and neither the Congressman or Elvira care. They are just the faceless lawabiding Mexican adherent of the American Immigration law.

Appears this was introduced in March 2007?
