Elvira Arellano is back in Mexico, but if history is any indicator, she will soon be strapping on her waders and fording the Rio Grande.
Senorita Arellano, 32, was born in San Miguel Curahuango, Mexico, but since 1997 she has resided illegally in various American cities. While living in Oregon in 1999, Ms. Arellano gave birth to an illegitimate son who, due to a misreading of the 14th Amendment, automatically became a United States citizen. In 2002, amid a post-9/11 sweep, she was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare Airport for using a fake Social Security number. Released on probation, Ms. Arellano remained in the U.S. another four years before a judge ordered her to report for deportation. Rather than obey the court order, she sought sanctuary in a Methodist church.

The article, while otherwise well written and apparently well-researched, makes a fundamental error in referring to the INS.
The INS no longer exists. Enforcement of immigration laws is now the responsibility of ICE. One wonders where The American Spectator’s editor was.
Pouring something over ice perhaps.
Is it a given that young Saul was born in the USA? I read various articles stating his age at 7 and 8 and that she was deported to Mexico at “around” that same time.
Birth certicate please!
They forgot to mention that Sen Dick Durbin played a role in making sure she was at that church.
LOL.
I wonder if she will bring the anchor baby that she "could not bear to part with" back with her?
Just wondering...
