Thread: So I was wondering what Elvira is up to...

and I came across this website or people to write these folks to let her stay in the country. I think it would be good if a bunch of us write these folks and ask for her deportation.

No sure if this goes in the Focus campaign section? Also is there a good form letter already available I know if I write one I will get to passionate/angry about begging to deport her back to Mexico

I am new to this Grassroots type stuff and have been trying to keep up. I am working 2 jobs so I try and get emails, letters, etc. out in between.

They are even asking for donations to "Elvira's foundation "..........
Americans are so generous .
I am just thinking - where else can I donate my money and here ..Elvira is coming
I think Olga Gonzales foundation will probably open tomorrow ..
I'd rather keep working harder .......so many mouths to support
Pandabear - it looks like Elvira is becoming a superstar - all it takes to become famous here - is to come illegaly , to break enough of laws and to open a website for people to contribute .
Such a nice and friendly country !

Our government has chosen to hand over dog the bounty hunter to Mexico instead of Elvira. We live in a new world now where criminals are treated like the good guys and the good guys are the bad guys. Will we all have to change our ways and become bad to stay out of trouble? It is true the bad kids always turn the good kids bad, it doesn't work the other way around. We are lost in our own land. We don't know which way is up.

Actually, this needs to be made PUBLIC and with his show, it WILL BE!! he si semi-famous. How can WE hand over a petty criminal when MEZICO will NOT HAND OVER THIERS! WE NEED TO FAX/CALL CONGRESS for the DOG!!! This is outragous!!!

It's time for ICE to earn their paycheck.

"THE ILLEGAL, THE BAD AND THE UGLY"

Any American who donates to this illegal pig should have their citizenship revoked on the spot.

Sorry if this has been posted this evening. Good news -the flood gate has been closed on this avenue. Read and enjoy...

Judge dismisses immigration activist's suit

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit filed on behalf of the young son of a woman who fled to a Humboldt Park church after the government ordered her deportation to Mexico.

The pastor of Adalberto United Methodist Church, Rev. Walter Coleman, had filed a suit contending that 7-year-old Saul Arellano's rights would be violated if his mother, Elvira Arellano, were deported.

U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve sided with the government, which had argued that the child's rights would not be violated and that allowing his mother to stay would grant his mother an extra benefit. Saul is a U.S. citizen by birth.

"The court concludes that, because the pending removal order does not have any legal effect on Saul's right to remain in the United States, Saul will not suffer an injury to his constitutional rights when that order is executed," the judge wrote.

"Put differently, the pending removal order does not prevent Saul from exercising his rights of citizenship. This is not to say that Saul will not suffer a hardship; undoubtedly, he will."

St. Eve wrote that the question before her was whether that hardship was of "constitutional magnitude," and she found that it was not.

Coleman's attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.

Elvira Arellano took refuge in the church after defying an Aug. 15 deportation order. She had been denied a stay of the order while the case was heard.

Observers of the immigration debate had said the suit had the potential to affect the more than 3 million children in the U.S. in a situation similar to Saul's.

But St. Eve found that in prior cases, the courts have explained that "a removal order does not impinge on constitutional rights because a citizen child remains free to exercise his right to live in the United States."

Prosecutors had argued it was hypocritical for Elvira Arellano to run for protection under the law while knowingly violating it.

"Ms. Arellano should not be permitted to ignore the law and yet use the law through the means of a legal fiction by challenging the order through her son," prosecutors had argued.

Email sent to Sun Times and Tribune:

To whom it may concern;

Thank you for reporting the facts on the illegal alien Elvira Arellano. It is important for American citizens to see the true face of the pro-illegal alien cause. Someone who steals identification documents, defies our laws and consistently abuses her child emotionally by keeping him in a stressful situation.

Ms. Arellano deeply offends me, and I am embarrased by our goverment's lack of action in this situation.

Please keep reporting the facts and keep this story in the public eye.

Thank you,

A concerned citizen

Email sent to Senators Durbin and Obama:

Dear Senator ____ -

I am writing you in regards to Elvira Arellano. This woman is making a mockery of our laws and our immigration system. I am asking you to please stand up for America and have her deported immediately.

Only in America can someone steal a social security number, defy our laws and emotionally abuse her child and claim she is some kind of celebrity.

This woman is a self-righteous criminal and needs to be removed from our country immediately.

I am counting on you to stand up for our laws and our country, thank you.

Will we all have to change our ways and become bad to stay out of trouble?

Unfortunately, that only works for illegals!
