On August 15th,2006, Elvira Arrelano was ordered to report for deportation, three years after she was found guilty of entering the country illegally and using a stolen Social Security number to obtain work.

(Why it took three years to deport an illegal alien criminal I don't understand)

She found sanctuary in a church near Chicago and defied authorities attempts to deport her. Finally, last weekend, ICE grabbed the uppity foreign bitch and deported her ass back to her rightful place, Mexico.

Some facts:

She entered this country illegally in 1997,was captured, and deported. She re-entered, again illegally, a few days later.

Sometime in 1999, she spawned a bastard in Oregon, and eventually moved to Chicago, where she was arrested again, in 2002. Why she wasn't deported at this time makes no sense to me.

She's claiming she needs to stay in the USA to be with her American-born fatherless son, who needs care for his ADHD. Of course, this 'care' probably comes from the same pocket of the US taxpayer as his hospital delivery did, along with the subsidized housing she was using, the free school lunch program that fed him, the food stamps she was issued, and likely a welfare check as well.

Actually, it was she who separated herself from her child, refusing the final free-ride-for-two she was offered, opting instead to leave her child with friends in Chicago to be used as a political prop.

I'm getting tired of the news copy that refer to this criminally unfit mother as an 'Immigrant Rights Activist', casually leaving out reference to the illegal part of those she is activating for (mainly, herself). Now I suppose we have to refer to John Dillinger as an advocate of banking reform? Or NAMBLA as a Child Rights Advocate?

She ain't a hero.

She's a lawbreaker who has already shown disrespect for our legal system, our taxpayers, our culture (after 10 yrs, she still hasn't a rudimentary grasp of English), and motherhood.

Good riddance, Mojada.

And may your son be better off without you.

I know the rest of America will be.

I couldn't agree more!!! Well said......I want people to come to this country and love and respect it the way our ancestors did. The land of opportunity, not "everything free in America" !!! If you do not want to learn the language and culture.....stay home! How abiding by a law or two also! Don't even get me started!

I probably wouldn't have phrased this quite the same way as you guys (being a refined and delicate female) but I do agree with the sentiment. What really gripes me is that the media and the pro-illegal groups always say that deportation "separates families" and therefore it is wrong. But they never mention that the separation is the choice of the person being deported. If I were in that situation, I would bring my child back with me no matter what. It makes me wonder what her real agenda is.....

Derickm, I agree with you 100%.

I don't agree. Most of us are the children of immigrants and not all of them came legally. This is just racism dressed up. Shame on you.

MY great-great grandparents came into this country LEGALLY. As far as the racism argument, try again my dear I AM hispanic.

Yes, most of us came from immigrants who came here legally. There is no racism involved in wanting our laws enforced or in thinking that people who are in the process to come here legally should be given preference over those sneaking in. Elvira Arellano was deported more than once but kept coming back. She was arrested again while working at an airport using fake I.D. After 9/11, aren't we entitled to be a bit more vigilant about our laws without the "race card" always being played?

I think people try to point toward racism, since it's a particular race that seems to be the biggest population of illegal immigrants. If it were another race, it would be those people that we'd be talking about. If a bunch of Americans were/are doing the same thing to another country, I'd imagine they'd be saying the same things about us.

Illegal is illegal. The reasons behind it don't really factor into it. If their country is so bad to live in, they ought to start working on THAT.
