Illegal Immigrants: Gettin’ (Way) Too Big For Their Britches
Posted on July 2, 2007
It really does take big, heavy, clankin’ in the breeze, stainless steel, heavy balls (sorry, I mean “cojones”) to publicly come up with this:
Arellano announces “campaign of resistanceâ€
Hours after the Senate voted against advancing the immigration reform project, the Mexican activist Elvira Arellano announced a campaign of resistance against the U.S. government.
In a written statement, the leader of the movement Familia Unida (United Family) said that “if the Democrats and the Republicans cannot summon the courage to fix the broken law we will not sit quietly and see our families and our children cut to pieces on the broken pieces of that broken law.”
She demanded an immediate moratorium on all raids and deportations.
Arellano, who has remained in a Northwest Side church since August 15 to avoid an order of deportation, said this would be the deadline the government will have to “revive and pass a comprehensive immigration reform.â€
Otherwise, pro-immigrant organizers will begin a campaign “aimed at bringing this government and this economy to a halt.â€
Representatives from the Centro Sin Fronteras and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights also announced this morning they were prepared to take “economic actions†against corporations that support anti immigrant legislators and programming.
Also, a massive concentration of families and children is scheduled for July 17 in Washington D.C. to “confront the leaders of both parties and the President.â€
I’m not even going to comment on this; it would be too insulting to you folks out there to state the obvious. I’m just wondering about one thing: will the woman come out of her church to participate in the demonstration, or does her devotion to the cause stop as her instinct of self preservation kicks in?

I bet the ACLU will be there as well to lend support for them! It does not surprise me that they will finally show there true colors and intentions that they should be given whet ever they want.
is there a reason why law enforcement haven’t kicked down the door to that church, arrested the clergy and church officers and dragged the criminal out into the street in handcuffs?
What a mess, 30 years of neglect by the Feds, and we’re fighting with Mexico all over again,
When is the next MA war going to start, MAII, the sequel coming to a town near you.
Law enforcement had better get their house in order and start enforcing all immigration laws. Many of these people will engage in resistence. They come from areas that have a history of resisting government and sometimes with violence. We now have a very large base of people that the libs expect us to take care of financially.
Isn’t the ACLU for the separation of church and state? Are churches above the law?
Separation of Religious Authority I: no church should prescribe, proscribe, or amend civil or common law.
Separation of Religious Authority II: the church should not interfere in civil political processes or relations between the state and other nations.
Separation of Religious Authority III: no church should actively endorse any political figure, and should confine itself to moral, ethical, and religious teaching.
Separation of Religious Authority IV: no church should actively endorse any civil institution by providing religious services or religious expressions at that institution, nor favor one civil institution over another.
Do I see several violations here?
It is such a damn shame that what Ms. Arelleno says is probably true to one extent. The illegal immigrant status is higher than it has ever been and if they so choose, they can have a serious affect on commerce among other things. This is what we get for not paying attention to our borders and thinking that these people are coming here to be Americans. They are here to continue their Mexican traditions and to raise more Mexican-Americans. They could at least try to learn to speak English. Most of them do not even make the effort. That is the most insulting thing of all. How do you act as a guest in someone’s home?
They are here to continue their Mexican traditions and to raise more Mexican-Americans. Americans do not go
Mexico illegally. Why? We are patriots to our cause good or bad. We dig in and stay the course. As with each
recession Americans loss jobs, houses, and yes some loss their familys to economy slow down in the USA. Why?
Then does the mexican come to the USA, then says I’m Mexican. If you are in deed mexican then go home and fix
your own economy problems.
The best way to influence the ACLU is to join. Go the website and beocme a membe.
The ACLU will provide legal representation to all these GOP
losers caught going to brothels and doing it in the bushes.
I like to got go to Brothels and wear diapers!
