Yesterday, the Mexican Senate cheered and greeted Elvira Arellano as a hero. On 12 September 2007, Emma Lozana will take 8 year old Saul Arellano to Washington D.C. to serve as a symbol and an inspiration for an immigrants' rights march. In Lozano's and Arellano's own words, this is what the symbol represents:
"We have shown that we are not only for protecting the rights of the undocumented but we are struggling for Latinos to become a voice for justice for all of Latin America. We have supported self-determination and opposed assimilation into this nation’s individualistic, imperialistic values. We have taught that our people did not come here because of the American Dream but because of what the American nightmare did to our countries of origin. We have asserted that our demand to be here and to be fully enfranchised here is a right not a privilige and a destiny of our people to transform this nation."

Yesterday, several Mexican Senators called upon President Calderon to press the American government to grant Arellano a visa, as an activist. ( . . .el diputado Jacques adelantó que varios diputados pedirán al presidente Calderón que apoye a Arellano para que el gobierno estadounidense le otorgue una visa como activista.) That would pretty make the Mexican government complicit in supporting Lozano's organization.
Congreso mexicano recibe como heroína a Arellano makes rather interesting reading.
A taste:
Elvira Arellano llegó al Senado mexicano, donde sesiona la comisión permanente del Congreso, con una expresión tan triste que parecía que lloraba en seco y llevaba sobre los hombros el peso de los cuatro millones de niños mexicanos nacidos en Estados Unidos de padres indocumentados.
Elvira Arellano arrived at the Mexican Senate, where the permanent commission of the Congress is in session, with so sad an expression that it seemed that she cried (dry eyed?) and carried on her shoulders the weight of the four million Mexican children born in the United States to undocumented parents.
“cried her eyes out”
“we are struggling for Latinos to become a voice for justice for all of Latin America”
You can start by STAYING in Latin America!
“Transform this Nation”? Into what? What they left? Dictatorship, slavery, drugs, gangs? Why not stay in their own country and fix what is wrong?
This says it all, and if our government reps don't wake up and realize this, our country is doomed.
So these are the people that Mel Martinez, Karl Rove, et al tell us are natural Republicans if we would only make them citizens.
If he shows up in DC, child protective services should be there and stop this exploitation. More Americans should read that it is their aim to change us. Fat chance. Pack your bags and go. Adios.
But since attention is now drawn to it here at FreeRepublic, they may not be online very long.
“cried her eyes out”
An overused ploy for sympathy I’ve had to face down multiple occasions in the past with the Mexican workforce I inherited at a former business I managed. I had to keep a wet-vac in the conference room.
September 12th ids a Wednesday, a school day which Saul will n\miss because his Legal Guardian needs to use him as a political prop. The 19th Judicial Court of Lake County Illinois dictates that a minor needs a guardian if the parents are dead, missing or unable or unwilling to care for the child. Other than that, I’m up for a war with Mexico!
What kind of government encourages another country to provide legal residence for their own citizens?
Ping.
Much thanks. I knew it had to be idiomatic, but I could not figure it out.
And here it is, laid out for everyone to see. Their true intentions.
“We have shown that we are not only for protecting the rights of the undocumented but we are struggling for Latinos to become a voice for justice for all of Latin America. We have supported self-determination and opposed assimilation into this nation’s individualistic, imperialistic values. We have taught that our people did not come here because of the American Dream but because of what the American nightmare did to our countries of origin. We have asserted that our demand to be here and to be fully enfranchised here is a right not a privilige and a destiny of our people to transform this nation.”
Good News: It will last only a few more weeks, however.
She will then be long forgotten.
She will be in Mexico, deported and without a visa.
And America will be less one Elvira Arellano.
Nothing more nothing less.
Just like Stanely Tookie Williams.
The libs had him out as a black Jesus Christ on death row, and that he would be a poster boy for their cause.
Were they ever wrong.
They will be wrong on this dippy muchacha as well!!
Would we call this a Latino “Mein Kampt”, open for all to see if they would?
Absoultely! If the US Government does not wake up and start addressing this problem, we are going to lose this country.
The email addy on their page doesn’t work.
Does everyone understand now that this 'movement' is colonization NOT immigration??
A government that is NOT our friend.
