Hours after the Senate voted against advancing the immigration reform project, the Mexican activist Elvira Arellano announced a campaign of resistance against the U.S. government.
In a written statement, the leader of the movement Familia Unida (United Family) said that if the Democrats and the Republicans cannot summon the courage to fix the broken law we will not sit quietly and see our families and our children cut to pieces on the broken pieces of that broken law.
She demanded an immediate moratorium on all raids and deportations.
Arellano, who has remained in a Northwest Side church since August 15 to avoid an order of deportation, said this would be the deadline the government will have to revive and pass a comprehensive immigration reform. Otherwise, pro-immigrant organizers will begin a campaign aimed at bringing this government and this economy to a halt.
Representatives from the Centro Sin Fronteras and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights also announced this morning they were prepared to take economic actions against corporations that support anti immigrant legislators and programming.
Also, a massive concentration of families and children is scheduled for July 17 in Washington D.C. to confront the leaders of both parties and the President.

Rather a nice mental image.
Bosnia + Kosovo X 10.
It's just so sad that Elvira has to endure the hardships of this country, when there are so many more hospitable places to live.
BUMP!
Fantastic idea and if they don’t go after them; we know they are not. Keep their well shod tootsies to the fire.
LOL True, true
They been emboldened by our own so-called leaders.
In 20 years, we’ll probably lose a lot of that territory, given away by our govt rather than fight an un-PC war to hold it.
20 years ago I must have been pretty naive, and believed it would never happen. Today, I no longer hold that belief and realize it could happen, and in many ways is.
Our national leadership may change, but I don’t see them having the spine to fight an un-PC war against revanchist Aztlaners. I see them folding, and giving them at least some kind of regional autonomy deal, and by half steps we’ll lose the SW.
I wonder if ‘familia unida’ is a tax-exempt organization?
The law is not broken - it simply must be enforced. Their families and children would not be being cut to pieces if the parents didn't break our laws and invade our country illegally. Go back to Mexico and quit demanding rights here that you don't have the guts to demand in your own freaking country.
At that point the United States will have lost it's sovereignty and will no longer exist.
That’s quite likely. Of course, if some kind of CW2 erupts at some point, all bets are off, and there’s no telling where we’ll wind up.
Demand a border fence! Build it NOW!! Beef up the border patrol and close our borders!

Sure. Becuase our Government has such a long history of going to the wall for the little guy. The Rats and the RINO's are representing the business interests who want cheap labor at any cost.
Let the resistors resist without food stamps, welfare health care, etc.
Get out, go home, you are unwanted, disliked, unneeded and unwelcome. And stay out.
