"Dear President Bush,
I, Saul Arellano, age 7, an American Citizen, do now formally request a meeting with you. I request that you grant safe passage for my mother, Elvira Arellano, so that she can be with me at this meeting and can return safely to our church. I request also that our pastor, Rev Walter Coleman and his wife, Emma Lozano, and my congressmen Luis Gutierrez and Bobby Rush, and Rafael Pulido and Abel Uribe and my friend Daysha DelValle also be present at this meeting.
I want to tell you why I believe my mother should be allowed to stay with me in my country. I want to tell you also that there are more than 3 million children like me. We are U.S. Citizens but the government is taking away our mothers and fathers.
Saul Arellano
Citizen"
All I could think is how much that pastor and congressman want limelight

Maryjane, as I understand it, they get government benefits so that 'no burden on society' bit won't work.

There is no excuse for letting Elvira Arellano hide out in a Chicago church. She is a convicted felon. A serial criminal. She just can't stop breaking U.S. laws.
Elvira Arellano claims she just wants to stay with her son, now called "Citizen Saul" by a Chicago Sun Times reporter, but no one is saying she can't take him with her. Elvira claims she can't speak English, and always speaks through an interpreter. Why? So she always has the defense that "she simply didn't understand". I can assure you that Elvira Arellano has had her situation explained to her in Spanish as well as English and she totally understands what she is doing. Certain politicians here in Illinois and Chicago are attempting to make her a martyr, hoping to empower illegal Hispanics everywhere. Hoping to get the vote of Hispanics everywhere.
We have in Chicago, and actually our entire country, a total system failure and Elvira Arellano has chosen to make herself the poster-child for that failure.
We have a convicted, KNOWN felon, ordered to leave the country AGAIN (a rather lenient sentence for a felon!), and now, with the help of a U.S. Congressman (Luis Gutierrez and his trusty partner in treason, Congressman Jan Schakowski,) she is still here. This was mind you, a judges order for her to leave and now she is being coached by politicians on how not to get arrested by hiding in a store front, pretending to be a church!
Let's change this situation around a little, and put an African-American in that church who isn't even a fugitive from justice. How long do you think it would take S.W.A.T. to remove the storefront windows and tear-gas that man out of that church? If you guessed less than 30 minutes, you guessed about 20 minutes too many and the media would be prodding it every step of the way.
Law Enforcement personnel whether local, state or federal, have a job to do. Enforce the law (hence....their name). It's not their job to interpret law, and it certainly is not their job to judge people who have broken the law. They have it written out very plainly for them if they get confused. Their job is to bring criminals to justice so a judge and/or jury, can then do their job. When a judge's order is ignored, that person is then brought to jail, usually for "Contempt of Court". Why isn't this happening in Elvira Arellano's case? Because she's Hispanic? Illegal? Why is this woman....a convicted felon, a fugitive from justice, not in Cook County jail right now? Ignoring Elvira Arellano's contempt for our laws is only going to do cause more people to do the same. Illegals all over America will be hanging signs on their door stating that their residences are "a church" and that it is their "sanctuary". This...is a travesty of justice to put it simply and Americans should be, and are enraged about it.
Law Enforcement needs to again, arrest Elvira, however it can be done, as well as anyone who stands in their way up to, and including Congressmen and Senators. I think it is the general consensus of Illinois residents that at this point, Elvira should spend some time in jail, if anything, to make her understand that she would have been much better off complying with the judges original deportation order! If she has no family here, too bad. Now her child becomes a ward of the state. Elvira, after she's a few days behind bars will see that yes....she should have obeyed the judge....just like Americans have to. Elvira wants the benefits of being an American, and an illegal alien.
Now it's time to deal with the Congressmen and Senator(s) who helped make this fiasco what it has become. They should be charged with obstruction of justice as well as aiding and abetting a known fugitive of justice. A judge's orders are based on the law today. Not what it might become tomorrow.
Everyone who reads this and agrees with this needs to write and call U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald. Only then will he see that the people are serious about this. The U.S. Attorney is our attorney. He is an attorney for the people. For Americans. He is who we must turn to when we have corrupt politicians committing serious crimes, and obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting a known fugitive, are serious crimes.

I don't know really. I would think that the parents of a child born on American soil should apply for legal status just like all of "the others" but maybe they can expedite the ones in situations like this a bit faster. Kind of like how they let people with small children get on airplanes first. I mean, as long as they learn English, have a "supporter(s)" to feed, clothe, and shelter them, and they actually get jobs so they don't end up on welfare, I don't see what the problem is that they stay in the country. I know this immigration issue is difficult for even us adults to understand, I can only imagine how the little guy must feel. It's sad to see how innocent kids are always affected by our "grown up" differences/problems/issues.

In other countries if a person is in their country illegally they do not get citizenship for their children. Mexico did not give citizenship to the daughter of a Rain Forest Indian I know who was there trying to escape attack and murder in Guatamala. Instead when they found out when she gave birth they kicked her out of Mexico where she was fortunate her new baby did not get killed. She came to the US because the world took away her forest because she did not have paper claims to the land of her forefathers.
Most countries if you are there legally do not make you a citizen until you are of 18 then you can choose between the country of your parents or theirs.
They can go home and he can come back when of age to the US like others I have met whose parents were deported. He is lucky to be able to make that choice at all.
She used someone elses social security number illegally was deported came back illegally and then had her son here. She can go home with him and come back illegally again no problem. Send her home she can work for cash without using a social security card but she wants the priveledges without going through the proper channels. If they can deport the spouses of US citizens who came here illegally when they try to become legal then they can deport her.She is not married to anyone who is a US citizen.

I agree with @the hop hop hop she does not deserve to stay here because she broke a lot of laws.Again I repeat she & all the others are useing the boy for their own gains. But what do you expect of a congressmen during a election year.I noticed the child in Florida was sent back to Cuba by the Clintons because they said he was better off with his father. That child had family in Miami.Let s send both the boy & his mother back So they are togeather. Isnt that what everyone wants, them togeather?

Looks like something any 7 year old would write. I can not believe how some people will try to use a child as an excuse to break the law and others will support it. What is wrong with these people?!

She should have her child taken away for child abuse.She is using him as a scapegoat for a passage for herself to stay ILLEGALLY in the USA.She is abusing her child in using him in this way,no 7 year old would come up with these things himself.He should be attending school(funded by us,of course)or out playing with his friends instead of being holes up in a church and being sent all over the country pleading his mother's case.It makes me sick.She needs to go.

Why are we allowing three million kids to be born in the good old USA? Because we care! At the point of their birth if their parents would register and become legal aliens then we wouldn't have to deport them!!

It is disgusting that they are living their lives vicariously through this "citizen". It would be more appealing if I actually believed he wrote it. I doubt it, and it is utter BS in my opinion. I hate to say this, but I would rather Cindy Sheehan meet him first. They are using her ploy, and without public sympathy. Media(bleep's) they are.
