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.

I demand they get out of my country; now. Go peacefully or we will use force... don’t come back...
Mexijihad.
Criminals giving the government an ultimatum? Time to step up the raids then step them up again and again.
In what other country on the entire face of the earth would an illegal immigrant feel like “resistance” and “issuing demands” would be a trigger for anything but a one-way ticket OUT of the country? We are and have been conditioning these folks entirely in the wrong direction.
OK, OK, except Britain.
I demand a moratorium on illegal immigration.
Hmmm...okay, let's see, which Democrat or Republican forced you to enter this country illegally and put your family in jeopardy?
In the meantime, I'll be tuning up my lawn mowers - there may be a business opportunity for this gringo.
Invasion.
The illegal invasion.
Something should have been done about it 20 years ago.
The best way for the illegals to get back at us is to pack up and go back to Mexico....that would really show us “bigots” how important the illegals are to our economy.....boy we would be sorry.....wouldn’t we....:)
I say go ahead and “bring the economy to a halt”.
Soon after they may feel like the employee who goes on vacation only to return and learn that the boss realized the employee wasn’t necessary after all.
Brother, the Illegal aliens lobby is oddly are our best allies and their own worst enemy... keep it up dumb ass
Once they come out of the shadows, arrest and send them to the fence building camps to pay their tax debt. If they do a good job and work hard for a few years, maybe we can consider some kind of amnesty or even citizenship, or maybe not.
Love it or leave it.
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. Why confront the President? He is on their side. They have no concept of how our government works. I think they overplayed their hand with last year's demonstrations, freaking out people who had not thought much about it, and this one will do at least as much damage to their "cause." In addition, anyone who comes to DC in July or August is nuts. This time, the illegals should be arrested and we should be demanding that it happens.
