Arellano makes the point perfectly

I think that Elvira Arellano sums up the exact reason why she and other illegal aliens do not deserve amnesty, citizenship or any recognition of their criminal behavior when she says that, "I have only two choices, either I go to my country, Mexico or stay and keep fighting."

That is exactly the point; they as a group do not desire to embrace this, our country or our culture, and she obviously misses the point that loyalty and love of one's country are keys to citizenship -- or does she? The fact is that Mexico, as she stated, is her country -- so why did she stay here?

The only question remaining is why are we not prosecuting those that have harbored her?
