Duplicate: Saul Arellano goes to Mexico
Seems like this would backfire ... or really show how sold out our
gov is if an appeal to a foreign national's government can change
the law in another country.

Boy in deportation flap heads to Mexico
By SOPHIA TAREEN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 38 minutes ago
CHICAGO - The 7-year-old son of an immigration activist who took refuge in a church to avoid being deported is heading to Mexico on Sunday to seek the support of national legislators.
ADVERTISEMENT
Saul Arellano, who is an American citizen, is scheduled to meet with members of the Mexican House of Representatives and the Mexican Senate on Tuesday in an effort to get a resolution supporting Elvira Arellano's bid to stay in the United States.
Elvira Arellano was supposed to surrender to federal authorities for deportation to Mexico in mid-August. Instead, she took refuge at the Adalberto United Methodist Church.
"It's just another added pressure," said Emma Lozano, executive director of the immigration-rights group Centro Sin Fronteras, who will accompany the boy to Mexico. "We really believe Mexico could use its influence more in supporting people like Elvira."
Lozano and Saul will meet with Mexican human rights activist Rosario Ibarra, who is also a member of the Senate, in an effort to enlist her support.
The boy has been speaking at conferences and writing letters to political figures including
President Bush and Mexican President
Vicente Fox, asking for help.
Arellano has said deporting her would effectively deport her son, and violate his rights.
She was arrested in 1997 soon after crossing into the United States and was sent back to Mexico.
She returned and was arrested again in 2002 and was convicted of working as a cleaning woman at O'Hare International Airport under a false
Social Security number.

I hope this act means they are desperate and could not get support from any Politicians here including the President.
She's a fugitive felon and should be arrested.

I read this story on the web this morning. What trash. Here we have a woman who thought nothing of the American law system when she snuck into the U.S., now she wants those same laws to protect her while she uses her son in hopes to get what she wants. Sickening.
The National Council of LaRaza is the largest*hate group.

This is the perfect time to go and get her! ICE could save money on one plane ticket already!

Not even amnesty can save her, unless they give it to felons. Not only is she a felon for her re-entry into the country, but also for using fake documents. They can't possibly give this woman a break since they are deporting the likes of her everyday. I think the second she steps outside of that church, it's over or she will just get tired of it (she can't stay there forever) and turn herself in......get deported and sneak back in, which she should have done in the first place. Now the whole country knows her and that would be impossible.
We need to complain to children's services.....this is mental abuse, sending the kid all over as some kind of pawn. What will he be when he grows up....a hate-filled activist???!
