MILENIO.COM » Anuncian manifestaciones en EU en apoyo a una reforma migratoria (broken link)

The Mexican activist, Elvira Arellano, exhorted to the political establishment not to criminalize immigration but on the contrary, to organize it in a just way.

Mexico, DF.- The activist Elvira Arellano, who heads the Central American Migrant Movement, reported that on May 1 marches and mobilizations will be carried out in all the U.S. cities to support the lobbying of an immigration reform bill.

As long as Elvira stays in Mexico-----she can shoot off her mouth all she wants.

Now; if she attempted to cross into the USA, she should be possibly sent to Gitmo IMHO.

If Ms Arellano and other pro illegal activists would spend thier energies directed at changing their OWN countries problems, not so many people would feel the need to leave their homelands to work for substandard pay in the US.

Interesting post, Preaching . . .

If only Elvira, the Common Criminal and ID Thief plus "Loving Mother" who feels no shame abandoning her only child, would spend as much time and energy "fixing" the problems in Mexico as she spends meddling in our business . . .

I keep hearing pro illegal (which not really correct,it is for humane treatment period)

They are doing work in Mexico with the Mexican people. They are helping to build schools and working in different areas to help the people of that country.
It is false to say that they encourage people to cross over the border, in fact they ask them to not try to cross because of the amount of deaths in the desert.

Once again, Sassyone,......20 Million people (approximately) illegally enter another country, of their own free will. They do so, PRESUMABLY, because the "other" country has a lot more opportunity to make money, than THEIR country does.

These people are allowed to work---they're allowed to live where they want--they're offered medical care, education for their kids (and even CITIZENSHIP for those born here, to illegal parents)...they're allowed to 'rant, rave, complain, and demonstrate'...IN PUBLIC...as much as they want....and (up till recently) are virtually GUARANTEED not to be deported, in any large numbers. Even those who are violent criminals aren't always deported....

True enough, we do have a few racists, 'curmudgeons', and grumpy people here...(even on this forum !) ...and a few of them DO make unkind remarks toward the illegals. But is that "inhumane treatment"? Don't the illegals THEMSELVES, also say 'unkind things' toward the 'locals' here? There are 'nasty' people in ALL societies. Other than THAT, though, just how are these folks being treated inhumanely? And, if they ARE, do they have any way to IMPROVE their treatment? Is any of it THEIR OWN CHOICE?....

Just asking...

Now, tell me again.....where does the "inhumane treatment" come in, exactly? I suppose we could send a bus over the border to bring them in...but remember, they're NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. It seems to ME that they're being treated pretty 'humanely", and apparently, a lot BETTER than they were treated at home...

Bummer, I couldn't agree more. What I find humorous is that as a convicted felon, no matter what she does or who she sends as her messenger, she will not be allowed back in. It's just mind boggling when illegal aliens seem to think that they are entitled to everything Americans have yet they refuse to acknowledge our laws.
