CHICAGO, Feb 09, 2007 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ --

Mexican legislators have traveled to Chicago to meet with Elvira Arellano, an illegal alien who defied a U.S. government order that she turn herself in to the Department of Homeland Security for deportation. The 31-year-old woman was arrested in 2002 during an immigration sweep at O'Hare International Airport. U.S. officials noted that Arellano had already been deported once in 1997, and that she had a criminal conviction for Social Security fraud.

Rosanna Pulido, Illinois spokesperson for You Don't Speak for Me, a national coalition of American Hispanics who oppose illegal immigration, states, "Actually Elvira Arellano is a testament to the utter failure of the Mexican government. Because of widespread corruption, the government of Mexico has consistently failed to provide economic opportunity to millions of Mexican people and encourages them to violate U.S. immigration laws. The Mexican government could care less about people like Ms. Arellano. What they are really here to protect is the $23 billion a year that the millions of Mexicans living in the U.S. send home to Mexico," Pulido charged.

You Don't Speak for Me holds the U.S. government complicit in creating the nation's illegal immigration crisis. "Elvira Arellano is also a testament to the unwillingness of the United States government to uphold the rule of law and enforce its own immigration laws. This failure has undermined our sovereignty while harming the interests of countless Americans," said Pulido.
