And don’t come back till you have done it legally. A shame those “churches” that helped you break the law did not instead have you respect the law and help you return legally. But you wanted to play the role of a media showpiece and so did they.

Notice, the LA Times headline fails to note that she was an ILLEGAL.

One gone, only 3,099,999 to go!

Other anti-illegal immigration activists have said that Arellano could remain with her child simply by taking him with her to Mexico.

Might have helped her kid learn to respect US laws too. A child born by somebody who illegally entered is not honestly a citizen, no more than money given to a child from a bank heist can be kept by the child. That’s how I see it.

Arellano entered the United States in 1997. On her first try, she was caught at the border and deported, said Walter Coleman, the pastor at Adalberto United Methodist Church, where Arellano had sought sanctuary in Chicago.

She reentered a few days later and in 2002 was arrested — and later convicted — of using a false Social Security number at her job cleaning airplanes at O’Hare International Airport.

Last summer, an immigration judge ordered Arellano to present herself for deportation.

Instead, she sought refuge in the Chicago church.

Interesting. How many times do you think those churches went to those synagogues to minister to them that Jesus Christ is the Messiah mentioned in Hebrew scripture? I’m going to go out on a limb and say, NEVER. Oh, but churches will go to the synagogues to team up in breaking US laws. Amazing.
