Family Values


Elvira Arellano was arrested and will almost definitely be deported from our wonderful country. The soft spoken mother of an American born child will be sent back to Mexico with a full chorus of unloving, racist anti-illegal immigrant cheering this momentous occasion. So many conservatives call for a return to family values and a return to church. Well here is a lady who literally lived in a church (in Chicago due to fear of the feds coming to take her) and who wanted nothing more than to be with her son in the USA (who is here legally) and to work and provide for him and herself. As mentioned in a previous post, Elvira has become the red meat that many want to chew upon. Lost in the rhetoric is any semblance of human decency, compassion, understanding, and love.
