Seven-Year-Old on Mission for His Mom - Lobbies Mexican Lawmakers to Prevent Her Deportation From U.S.

Four-foot-tall second-grader Saul Arellano, a U.S. citizen, was to stand before 500 members of the lower house of the Mexican Congress on Tuesday to plead for their help in lobbying Washington to stop the deportation of his migrant mother, who has taken refuge in a Chicago church.

His fight is being closely watched on both sides of the border: The result could set a precedent for more than 3 million children, like him, who are Americans born to at least one parent who is in the U.S. illegally.

While his mother, Elvira Arellano, stays inside the Adalberto United Methodist Church on Chicago's West Side, Saul has joined a months-long campaign on her behalf, speaking out from Los Angeles to Washington, where he handed a White House guard his letter to U.S. President George W. Bush.

"I want to stay with my mom in the United States," Saul said Tuesday, surrounded by cameramen and reporters in the Congress as he waited to speak to lawmakers.

Asked if he was nervous, he turned and buried his face in the lap of Emma Lozano, executive director of the Chicago-based immigration-rights group Centro Sin Fronteras, who accompanied Saul on the trip.

He's Legal...Mom's illegal

Do none of the Mexican Lawmakers understand that this kids is basically saying, "I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN MEXICO!"

I recently read somewhere around here that 60% of babies born in Texas are "anchor babies" of illegal aliens.
