It's about time for this deportation

Ms. Elvira Arellano was arrested in California and deported.

Well, it's about time !

Some Chicago immigration activist was sad and upset, said stating: "How dare they arrest this woman?"

How dare they indeed! How dare we allow her to be in this country on and off since 1997 -- 10 years!

She first came here illegally in 1997 ! Then deported back to Mexico very shortly after. That is 10 years ago. Then she returned and moved to Illinois in 2000, and was arrested in 2002 at O'Hare and convicted of working using a false Social Security number. This is now three times she has broken our laws. They let her loose and instead of surrendering to authorities last year she hid in the church for a year ! If this kid of hers is 8 years old, she would have had to be here in 1999 for him to be a citizen, so exactly when did she sneak back in?

It's time to stand up and prosecute these people. If she wants to be with her son, let him go back with her. Let them get in line and come back through the proper legal channels. She has no rights here; she is illegal.

I'm so sick and tired of these people getting away with everything, while the rest of us have to obey the laws of this land or be prosecuted for it. Post her picture everywhere in case she tries to sneak back in again.
