She won the help of members of the Illinois congressional delegation, who rallied around her because her 7-year-old son, Saul, a U.S. citizen, has ADHD and other health problems. She has been granted three stays of deportation since 2003. U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) sent a letter to President Bush on Wednesday asking that Arellano be granted yet another stay.

Sen. Dick Durbin, Sen. Barack Obama and others have said there is nothing more they can do for her. Because her son's condition has improved, some of those sympathetic to her cause suggest that another stay of deportation cannot be justified.

Arellano's supporters are calling for a moratorium on deportation until Congress passes its now-shelved immigration reform.

I cannot wait for her to get the boot. Why is this country stupid enough to allow peasants from Mexico to jerk it around? I have no empathy for her. She's a shameless liar and media manipulator

She needs to be booted. It's up to her to take her anchor baby with her - or not
