Is Elvira Arellano Owed "Respect?" For What?

Captain Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean.


By John W. Lillpop

In response to my August 20th article about the deportation of criminal Elvira Arellano, a confused reader angrily defended Arellano and demanded that I show more respect for the deposed criminal.

As Captain Barbossa said in a classic line in the first Pirates of the Caribbean,

"I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request. It means NO!"


Well said, Captain!

Those words reflect my sentiments exactly when it comes to granting Elvira Arellano anything except scorn and a one-way ticket back to her third world Mexico.

Fact is, Elvira Arellano is not owed even a sniff of respect.

To begin with, although Arellano claims she is "not a criminal," she is actually a twice-convicted felon.

When Arellano invaded America for the first time in August 1997, she was arrested and deported. But this cowardly miscreant chose to break American law again. She re-invaded our blessed and sovereign nation -- a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

In 2002, Arellano was "working illegally for a janitorial services business whose employees had access to sensitive areas." Subsequently, Arellano was convicted for using someone else's Social Security number -- a felony.

In addition to her actionable felonies and complete disregard for American laws, Arellano has exploited her young son to avoid the long arm of the law. Arellano's despicable behavior reached a new low when she grabbed her young son and took up squatting in a Chicago church in order to thwart ICE agents.

To those concerned with the impact that all of this might have on Arellano's young son, the harsh reality is that the youngster deserves a mother who is morally fit, emotionally stable, and law-abiding.

Arellano provides none of those qualities; therefore, Saul will be better served by being separated from his hoodlum mum.

Saul also deserves to have a relationship with his father. Unfortunately for Saul, Elvira Arellano does not even know who sired the youngster.

So much for "shared family values" that our out-of-touch president promotes as a reason for open borders, amnesty, and other hair-brained notions about why citizens should welcome the invasion of America by illegal aliens!

This is yet another reason why Saul will benefit immensely from a long and forced separation from the thug he has been obligated to call mom.

Respect for Elvira Arellano?
