Flor Crisostomo is the illegal alien who took the place of Elvira in the Chicago store-front church. She never quite 'took off' in fame like Elvira. Awhile back she just quietly left the church. I have her on my google alert, and this came up. There is a youtube of her reading this statement, only in Spanish. Wonder how she is supporting herself these days and the three children she left in Mexico?



Declaration …Alto Arizona !!!! By Floresiste.

Flor Crisostomo Declaration Arizona, May 29, 2010.

From somewhere in the USA, I respectfully greet the Arizona community that is gathered at this historic moment.

My name is Flor Crisostomo; I am a Zapotec indigenous woman and one of many undocumented migrants in this country. Since my arrest in 2006, in an immigration workplace raid, I have kept my ongoing commitment, my responsibility and my actions in the struggle for the rights of the undocumented migrant community and our families.

Dear Arizona community, we know that the serious crisis that we are experiencing was caused by a lack of political will of the Senate and House as well as the Presidential false promises. Each day this system aims to exterminate us morally, giving us blow after blow with proposals such as 287-G to become law as it is now the SB-1070. The government of this nation has ignored that this law is about to become a social conflict of major proportions.

We remind the United States government that by allowing the criminalization of our skin color and our physical features, it is also criminalizing a very important part of the economic support of this nation.

The federal government of this nation is aware of the causes that have led to the displacement of entire villages to this country. Therefore, “We migrant peoples and taxpayers that in most cases we have been forced to migrate due to the unequal trade policies imposed by this nation, in our countries of origin.â€
