US Broke the law first?
2007-08-23
Elvira Arellano, now booted from her sanctuary in an LA Cathedral tells the Mexican Congress that the US broke the law first by allowing illegals to cross the border without documents and pay taxes.

Also note the headline on the linked page doesn't mention the cross the border without papers and just emphasizes the taxes.

It says a lot of about Mexico that she nobody laughed and mocked her.

#7  Let's hope that this is but the first in a very, very long row of dominoes.

#6  From USAToday:

"We cannot remain quiet in view of this injustice and must ask for firm action from our authorities," Mexican Sen. Humberto Zazue said.

#5  Exactly, tu. She paid somebody else's taxes and is upset about that (cuz she'll never collect) BUT can't, WON'T, see she has committed identity fraud, far worse than illegal entry.

Procopius-Thanks for posting that-it clearly shows the scale of the outrage.

She is no Rosa Parks-we're watchin'em play it that way, though.

#3  In Greenville at the BMW plant they caught several illegals using fake documents, they were arrested and now await deportation.
What is the big problem with other states just enforcing the law like the Judges do here in South Carolina?
No second or third chances; first offense and your gone.

#2  She was arrested in 2002 at O'Hare and convicted of working under a false Social Security number.

So she's got a phony, or stolen, social security number and she's bitching about paying taxes?

#1  From the Mexican Constitution -

Chapter III
Of Foreigners
Article 33 - Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualities determined in Article 30. They have the right to the guarantees of Chapter I of the first title of this Constitution, but the Executive of the Union has the exclusive right to expel from the national territory, immediately and without necessity of judicial proceedings, all foreigners whose stay it judges inconvenient. Foreigners may not, in any manner, involve themselves in the political affairs of the country.


Should play by their own rules, right?
