Elvira Arellano and the law

Yesterday, I on behalf of the Coalition Against Illegal Immigration, posted regarding Elvira Arellano. Arellano is the woman with the sever year old child with ADHD, who yesterday defiantly took refuge in the Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago to avoid deportation.

Heartless S.O.B. (apologies Mom) that I am, I believe she should be deported as she had been previously (only to sneak back in). Supporters of Arellano:

are calling for a moratorium on deportation until Congress passes its now-shelved immigration reform. They are not going to prevail on that. The U.S. is not about the business of suspending the enforcement of law while it mulls whether to change the law.

The interesting thing about the "moratorium" is that our system is pretty much operating that way already. Arellano's hypocritical stance makes a mockery of immigration law; immigration enforcement; immigration reform; suggests those who legally enter and request citizenship should stay at the back of the line; spits in the face of illegal immigrants that would like the same special treatment and more.

If it's good enough for Elvira, why not me?
