Finally.  Feds had refused to enter a church, in order to remove criminal illegal alien Elvira Arellano. In 1997, she illegally entered the US, and was deported. She returned just a week later, and lived in Oregon until moving to Chicago in 2000. In 2002, she was arrested at O’Hare International Airport, and was convicted of working under a false Social Security number. A year ago, she exploited her son, sending him to the gates of the White House – in a publicity stunt – to deliver a message to the President. In order to avoid deportation, she’s hidden out in a church in Chicago.

Apparently, she was so comfortable here, she actually left Chicago and went on the road with her law breaking, going as far as Los Angeles. Today, she was finally arrested.

Elvira Arellano was arrested about 4:15 p.m. Chicago time by law enforcement officials after leaving Our Lady Queen of Angels Church in downtown Los Angeles, said Emma Lozano, an adviser who was there during the arrest.

After talking to news media inside the church, Arellano and her supporters got into their van to head north to San Jose, where she was scheduled to speak at another church, Lozano said. Moments after they got in the van, an unmarked vehicle stopped them.

The driver of Arellano’s van, Roberto Lopez, poked his head out of the van because he wanted to see why they were being blocked. Several other unmarked vehicles surrounded their van.

And, of course, the media has to make the agents who arrested her, seem horrible.

Agents came out of all the cars screaming at the top of their lungs for her to get out, Lozano said. Her 8-year-old son, Saul, started to cry, and Arellano said to everyone in the car, “Calm down. Don’t have any fear. They can’t hurt me.”

Then she turned to the people who were about to arrest her and she said, “You’re going to have to give me a minute with my son,” Lozano said. She spent time with her son in the car, and then surrendered.

Perhaps she should’ve told her son that she had illegally entered the US, ignored our laws, violated our sovereignty, and broke non-immigration related laws. Instead, the media makes her seem like a martyr being persecuted by the mean, fascist government.

Only later on in the article, is some more information given:

“I’m not happy that this happened, but it was bound to happen because she was challenging the system,” said Salas, the host of the morning-drive talk show La Tremenda on WRTO AM-1200.

By Sunday afternoon Salas was already talking about the arrest on the radio, and callers were weighing in too.

Callers were “saying that she was traveling to Los Angeles and around the United States, she would provoke [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and the anti-immigrant groups,” he said. “There would be checkpoints everywhere.”

Salas questioned why it appeared that mainstream media make Arellano out to be the face of undocumented immigrants, when her actions have exacerbated the animosity toward them.

“She wasn’t down to earth,” he said, adding that Arellano acted “entitled” to rights “when there’s thousands and thousands of people in the same situation.”

“She made everything worse,” Salas said. “She’s not a face of the immigrants. My family without papers, she doesn’t represent them.”

Even many illegals didn’t like her entitlement attitude. She went beyond even avoiding deportation and law-breaking. She taunted our system, through actions like sending her son to the White House and taking her circus on the road.

So, why is Bush cracking down, all of a sudden? Kaus says it’s to show enforcement to be an evil, inhumane activity, and to convince people that amnesty and open-borders should be our only choice. I’m afraid I have to agree with that theory.
