Ms. Arellano also posted a statement, saying if she is "arrested on holy ground", she will know that "God wants me to be an example of the hatred and hypocrisy of the current policy of this government".

The story here is that Ms. Arellano is an illegal immigrant that was sent back to Mexico and returned and has been identified as just what she is - and illegal immigrant. Her only rationale for staying is her son, whom she had here in the US. Her son has a "medical condition", and he gets better treatment here in the US than he would back in her home nation. That condition? ADHD. Yeah.

On the one hand I understand the need for immigrant labor in the US. From the stereotypical image of migrant farm labor to day laborers doing heavy lifting in construction. I understand the lure of coming to the US where we treat people with dignity and respect, even after they've broken our laws. The immigration authority knows where she is, they haven't dragged her away in chains. They'll get her to leave, I'm sure, but they'll give her a nice seat on a plane - far better I'm sure than the ride she took to sneak back into the US.

I'm mildly disgruntled about the whole "come to the US to give birth" thing. Anchor babies however are no news. Yes once you're born here you're a citizen, but does that give your parents automatic privileges to remain here? No, I don't agree. What it does give to the child is the ability to return to the US once they can travel on their own and fend for themselves. If the child has no American relatives, or friends to care for them here then it makes sense to send them back with their parents the people who decided to have them in the first place. This isn't a game, it's a child's life. I can't understand the parent willing to give up access to their child unless the child's survival was at stake. Considering his "medical condition" of ADHD I hardly think that's the case.

Boiling it all down what we have is a woman who had a baby here in the selfish hope that SHE could stay. When it came down to being deported she didn't think about what it meant for the child, just herself.

"I'm not a terrorist", said Ms. Arellano, who came to the United States illegally nine years ago and is facing her second deportation. "I'm only a single mother with a son who’s an American citizen".

And.... that still doesn't change the fact that you're breaking the law by being here.

All that aside the thing that really pisses me off, and sways me from mildly annoyed to "boot her ass the fuck out of here pleasenowktnx" is her judgement about the US. Excuse me but she's telling us what God thinks? Sorry bitch, the Pope you ain't.

Ok so she runs to a church. Huh. Last I checked Immigration Authority agents weren't pure-blooded Hungarians with an aversion to sunlight. The very idea that she can "pit God" against national policy is outrageous, and nothing more than a pathetic attempt to grandstand.

"I didn't allow them to deport me, and the community is supporting me," she said. "I'm not afraid of anything because I'm in the house of God."

Well bitch, that house of God is on American soil, and you're not welcome here any more. I suggest you move your operation to a house of God in a nation where you belong. And when it comes down to it, I'm confident God won't do anything to prevent immigration from busting your ass for no other reason than for selfishly calling on God to deal with your own bad judgement.
