Arellano Gone... But The Stench Lingers On...

Elvira Arellano has been deported. While at first I thought she really should have been jailed, I think it was smart of ICE to merely deport her. It's clear that this is no ordinary mother; Arellano is a seasoned activist, and has been pretty successful at setting herself up as the face of the "downtrodden immigrant just looking for a better life." Her imprisonment would have set her up as a martyr - the Mumia Abu-Jamal of the pro-illegal movement - and it's good to see this attempt failed.

But... if there is any one of you who still believe that this is just a case of a mother wanting to have a good life for her family, then read this little manifesto, from Pueblos Sin Fronteras, signed by Arrellano...

O000000.... Waxy Lady!

"...We have supported self-determination and opposed assimilation into this nation's individualistic, imperialistic values. We have taught that our people did not come here because of the American Dream but because of what the American nightmare did to our countries of origin. We have asserted that our demand to be here and to be fully enfranchised here is a right not a privilige and a destiny of our people to transform this nation."

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Fucking Bitch!
