MEXICO CITY: The recently deported illegal migrant and activist who took refuge in a Chicago church for a year, has asked the Mexico's president to appoint her "peace and justice" ambassador so she can return to the United States.
Elvira Arellano, 32, who sought refuge to avoid being separated from her U.S.-born, 8-year-old son, was arrested and sent back to Mexico on Aug. 19 after traveling to Los Angeles to attend a rally for the overhaul of U.S. immigration laws. Her son stayed in the United States.
"What I'm asking for is a diplomatic visa so that I can be an ambassador for peace and justice because I'm not a terrorist and the United States can't continue treating undocumented migrants as terrorists," Arellano told reporters after meeting with President Felipe Calderon at the presidential residence, Los Pinos.
In a news release, the president's office said Arellano asked the Mexican government to help her get a visa so she can enter the United States but it did not mention Arellano's request for a diplomatic appointment.
Calderon asked Foreign Secretary Patricia Espinosa to "look into the situation that Mrs. Arellano and her son face and to approach U.S. authorities so that we can respond to (her) request," it said.

He can pass her around to his little friends as some sort of celebrity.
They'll like that.
Just keep this ugly woman who deserted her child out of my country. BTW, has a DNA test been done to show if the child is hers? A normal mother would not have left her own child behind.
Un-freakin’-believable.
If she thinks that will get her a “free ride” back to the US, she is mistaken. Any “ambassador” can be refused entry......
Exactly. It is a process called “Agreement.” With her criminal record, the US can refuse to admit and acredit her. I doubt the Mexican government would be so foolish as to try it.
Let’s just cut to the chase and declare her persona non grata now,might save the Mexicans a little embarrassment.

Her legal status is such that she’s not permitted to ever return to the U.S., as a diplomat or anything else.
It doesn’t matter what the mexicans grant her or don’t, she’s not permitted back ever and without our blessing she doesn’t come.
....persona non gracias.......(8^)
America doesn’t want this piece of trash.
Declare her “Persona Non Grata” and send her back.
No; not "terrorists", just treat them like the CRIMINALS that they are!
She's gonna be the Mexican equivalent of Cindy Sheehan?????
No problem!! Let the Mexican government make her a diplomat and let them pay her salary and medical bills, for her as well as her son.
Maybe They could make all Mexican illegals diplomats and pay for them as well.
In all the reporting I've seen about this woman and her child one thing is missing.
Where the hell is daddy?
We should jail her if she crosses the border again.
I am getting tired of Mexicans. Very tired.
Anonymous sperm donor? A wanted criminal? He never told her his name? Minister of the church where she hid? One of the TV personalities who became unglued over her deportation?
Geraldo?
Hopefully our laws outlawing felons convicted in the U.S. will be denied entry — maybe that law is overlooked if the felon is MEXICAN/LATINO/HISPANIC.
