I have linked the story below, but is anyone but me mad as heck as the country continues to try and pull our strings over this nonsense. This woman refused to respect the laws of this country, she lied, she stole someone's identity and she was harbored even though not only did she break the law to come here, she broke countless amounts of laws in staying here. If an AMERICAN CITIZEN would have broken those laws, they would be not only in jail, but anyone that harbored them, would also be in jail as well.
This is what annoys me about the double sided and forked tongue of the government. They allow these people to be here to use them as common slaves, when they are doing that against the backbone of the average middle class and lower class american who could do the jobs for minimum wage and then they throw this stupid little "examples" to try and appease us?! How dare they, our children are suffering, our hospitals, our communities, our way of life is being destroyed because our country is allowing millions of illegals to come here without regard. They are murders, rapist, guilty of drug trafficking, stealing our identities, our social security cards, they refuse to abide by our laws - WHY ARE THEY STILL HERE!!!!!!!
No one can give me a good rationale reason and this story is just disgusting. This is not about this woman making a point about a law that needs to be repelled in the first place. That child should be with his mother in Mexico! And if she is going to do anything, she needs to march to the Mexican government and DEMAND A BETTER WAY OF LIFE! Is she is going to be an activist, be an activist for change in her HOME COUNTRY!
Does anyone not get that part? People are acting like (puppets) like the US is the only place on the planet that people can be happy and successful. (haha on that) If you want a better way of life, walk to Mexico with your son and make one.
She broke the law twice, she stole someone's identity, she is not a hero, she is nothing but a criminal and we are being thrown this story by the government and whomever else that wants to not only insult our intelligence, but our integrity.
These Latino organizations are just as much an enemy of this country as any Al Queeda or anyone else.
We are being invaded, everyday we are being invaded by Mexican terrorists. Our country is trying to destroy us within and please please do not be manipulated by the media.

LOS ANGELES - 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.
She had just spoken at a Los Angeles rally when she was arrested Sunday outside Our Lady Queen of Angels church and deported, said the Rev. Walter Coleman, pastor of Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago, where Arellano had been living.
“She is free and in Tijuana,” said Coleman, who said he spoke to her on the phone. “She is in good spirits. She is ready to continue the struggle against the separation of families from the other side of the border.”
Her 8-year-old son, Saul, is now living with Coleman’s family. During a news conference in Los Angeles after Arellano’s arrest, the boy hid behind the pastor’s wife and wiped away tears.
Arellano had said on Saturday that she was not afraid of being taken into custody by immigration agents.
“From the time I took sanctuary, the possibility has existed that they arrest me in the place and time they want,” she said in Spanish. “I only have two choices. I either go to my country, Mexico, or stay and keep fighting. I decided to stay and fight.”
Arellano, 32, arrived in Washington state illegally in 1997. She was deported to Mexico shortly afterward, but returned and moved to Illinois in 2000, taking a job cleaning planes at O’Hare International Airport.
She was arrested in 2002 at O’Hare and convicted of working under a false Social Security number. She was to surrender to authorities last August but instead sought refuge at the church on Aug. 15, 2006.
She had not left the church property until she decided to travel by car to Los Angeles, Coleman said.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed her arrest and said she was deported Sunday night through San Diego’s San Ysidro border crossing. The discussions there included Luis Cabrera, Mexico’s general consul in San Diego, and Robin Baker, ICE’s director of detention and removals in San Diego, ICE spokeswoman Lauren Mack said.
“Obviously this was a woman who didn’t want to go. They wanted to make sure any possible legal avenue that may have been open to her was closed,” Mack said. “This was a very, very sensitive removal for us as well as Mexico.”
Outside an ICE office in Chicago on Monday, about 50 people protested Arellano’s deportation. “It wakes us up to do something,” said Bertha Rangel, who brought her three young children to the rally.
Arellano is staying with a friend in Tijuana, Coleman said. He said she had brought to light her struggle, and for that, “she has won a victory.”...
