Arellano: Wants to be Peace Ambassador
The gall of this woman grows by leaps and bounds. If this volume of stories keeps up, I might have to give her her own category in my sidebar:
The recently deported illegal migrant and activist who took refuge in a Chicago church for a year, has asked the Mexico's president to appoint her "peace and justice" ambassador so she can return to the United States.
Elvira Arellano, 32, who sought refuge to avoid being separated from her U.S.-born, 8-year-old son, was arrested and sent back to Mexico on Aug. 19 after traveling to Los Angeles to attend a rally for the overhaul of U.S. immigration laws. Her son stayed in the United States.
"What I'm asking for is a diplomatic visa so that I can be an ambassador for peace and justice because I'm not a terrorist and the United States can't continue treating undocumented migrants as terrorists," Arellano told reporters after meeting with President Felipe Calderon at the presidential residence, Los Pinos.
No, but we can continue to treat you like the interlopers and lawbreakers you are. Oh, and it's illegal alien, not undocumented migrant.

I think that if she returns to the U.S. for any reason she should be arrested and put in prison, treated like the felon that she is!
When will these people get it that we do not want them here.
Elvira needs to stay in her country-Mexico!
