MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexican Senate committee passed a measure Wednesday urging President Felipe Calderon to send a diplomatic note to the United States protesting the deportation of an illegal migrant who took refuge in a Chicago church for a year.
The committee also approved a scholarship to help her 8-year-old U.S.-born son, Saul, who is an American citizen and stayed in the United States.

Elvira Arellano, 32, became an activist and a national symbol for illegal immigrant parents by defying her deportation order and speaking out from her sanctuary in the Adalberto United Methodist Church. She announced last week that she was leaving to try to lobby U.S. lawmakers for immigration reform.

On Sunday, shortly after she spoke at a rally in a Los Angeles church, she was arrested and deported to Tijuana, across the border from San Diego.

"We cannot remain quiet in view of this injustice and must ask for firm action from our authorities," Mexican Sen. Humberto Zazue said.

He accused the United States of violating international deportation accords by denying her access to the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles.

Arellano, who was at the committee's session, said Saul is in Chicago in the care of his godmother and will attend a Sept. 12 rally for immigration reform in Washington. She said she would help organize a rally in Tijuana that same day to demand Mexican authorities do more to protect migrants.

"For me it is very important that our government take a strong stand to defend all of us who decide to migrate to another country," she said.

What injustice? She was here illegally and got her ass deported just like thousands of people do everyday. If it was I that got caught illegally in Mexico I'd be looking at doing time in a Mexican prison. (ouch

)

Our local paper had a tear jerking editorial about how bad it was that her family was being torn up because of her deportation. Yeah it is really too bad. I don't like to see that kind of thing but let’s face it; she created the situation that she is in.

And that right there is the exact point people over look because they have there heads up there ass on this immagration issue. If a mother (american citazen) commited a felony that put her in prison would we tear jerk because the legal system tearing apart the family NO because she made that choice when she commited the crime. Not to mention the signal you send to the children that some crimes are ok.

Since when is a Liberal activist responsible for their own problems?

Aren't deportation laws set up for those that are in a country LEGALLY?

She said she would help organize a rally in Tijuana that same day to demand Mexican authorities do more to protect migrants.

Why doesn't she organize a rally in Tijuana to demand the Mexican authorities do more to protect their citizens and help them out of poverty.

"For me it is very important that our government take a strong stand to defend all of us who decide to migrate to another country," she said.

Why doesn't she think it important that her government take a strong stand to defend her countrymen in their own country. Once they migrate here, LEGALLY, her "government" should be the US, and she should not expect anything from the Mexican government.

Yes, she created the situation she is in and how! She was first deported when she was childless, then she sneaked back in, got herself preggers (accidentally, I'm sure), then pitched a fit when she got caught, not only in here after being deported BUT using a fraudently obtained SS#, because we'd be "breaking up her family". Well screw her and the horse she rode in here on. I don't know who that kid's dad is and good ole Elvira (or whatever her name is) probably doesn't know either. She has been riding that little kid's back since he was born. She is trying to use him as her claim to staying here. She can leave her little citizen here OR she can take him to Mexico to live with her, surely the Mex. govt. will allow his "scholarship" to be used at a Mexican university same as if he was toiling away here in America OR the little citizen could come back when he is of age and use his little scholarship. Whatever about the kid BUT that skanky mother of his should never be allowed back in the USA for any reason. She has shown herself to be totally not willing to abide by any of the laws of the USA if she decides they aren't for her. I wish someone in the media would point out to the American people how this bitch has manipulated her way into the position she is in and how she has been using a defenseless little boy to do most of her manipulation---any "mother" who shamelessly uses her own child the way this woman has used hers is in need of NO sympathy.

Thanks, Freedom!

It really burns me up when these illegals begin using their anchor kids as the "reason" why they should be allowed to stay here. I'm hard hearted, I say, "Fine, let the kids stay but the parents have to go home--back to their own homelands. If they want their kids to be citizens that is fine, this can be the kids homeland but it still does not belong to the parents." I don't want to hear about "humane" treatment of the illegals and their families. Humane is the code word for letting the illegals stay here with their anchor babies. If I had my way about it that "anchor baby" thing would be history. To make the children of illegals who are born here "citizens" was not the orignial intent of that amendment and I think that should be cleared up real quick then we horrible heartless Americans won't be hung on LaRaza's petard as being as fundamentally flawed as they try to paint us....... flawed because we'd like to see our laws unheld and at least a good face on "homeland security". What is happening now is insane. And how any sensible person could buy into any of that crap put out by the pro-illegal crowd just beats the hell out of me.
