A prominent advocate for illegal immigrants began a second day of refuge in a West Side church in defiance of federal authorities in Chicago who are trying to deport her.

Pres Clinton had Janet Reno not only break down the doors to a church, but in donig so, they incenerated all in there along with 40+ children.
While I don't think a Catholic church in Chicago would suffer the same fate...there is precident for it and I am sure that there are those in govt who would carry out the order.
The Path to National Suicide by Lawrence Auster (1990)
A, long, must read about what is coming. The fact that it was written in 1990 shows how prescient this guy is.
Thanks for the ping.
Hi, Piper!
Hi JP, good to see you.
This is staged for the leftist MSM.. the bit&ch is using the church, her kid, and knowing the MSM and libs will do the rest to garner enough attention and sympathy..
She has twice entered the country illegally, has been convicted of carrying a false Social Security card, speaks very poor English for someone who has been in this country nine years and she plays her so-called "anchor baby," a 7-year-old son who is a U.S. citizen because he was born here, as her trump card.
The strongest argument for giving her special dispensation seems to be that she's a well-known activist and "not a terrorist," which she keeps insisting even though no one says she is.
She compares herself to Rosa Parks, the black woman whose refusal in 1955 to give up her seat on the bus to a white man sparked the civil rights movement.
But Parks was defying unjust and immoral segregation. And Arellano and her supporters have yet to make the case--aside from declaring it so--that there is anything unjust or immoral about the laws under which she is being deported.
her declaration that her arrest and deportation will serve to illustrate "the hatred and hypocrisy of the current administration,"
An online CNN poll linked to the network's coverage of the Arellano story showed 93 percent of respondents opposing the proposition that "anchor babies" should immunize a parent from deportation.
