She's Out of Here

The illegal alien activist mentioned in this earlier post is out of here:

LOS ANGELES (AP) - An illegal immigrant who took refuge in a Chicago church for a year to avoid being separated from her U.S.-born son has been deported to Mexico, the church's pastor said.

Elvira Arellano became an activist and a national symbol for illegal immigrant parents as she defied her deportation order and spoke out from her religious sanctuary. She held a news conference last week to announce that she would finally leave the church to try to lobby U.S. lawmakers for change.

That was quick. I think the boys at ICE had long ago lost their sense of humor about her case as she flaunted her illegal status in that church in Chicago.

Her son is still in the U.S. (and is a U.S. citizen by birth). If the family was really interested in doing what's best for the child, they'd send him to be with his mother rather than use him as a P.R. pawn in this battle.
