| Immigrant Takes Refuge in Chicago Church Immigrant Takes Refuge in Chicago Church Immigration activists around the country are taking up the cause of a single mother who invoked the ancient principle of sanctuary and took refuge in a Chicago church rather than submit to deportation to Mexico. Elvira Arellano, 31, was holed up for a second day Wednesday at Aldalberto United Methodist Church with the support of the congregation's pastor. With her was her 7-year-old son, Saul, an American citizen. many are making her 'the face of the immigration' issue...if that's the case, i think we should let her stay in that church as long as she wants, but when she comes out take her back to mexico. if this is going to be the example to illegals, this needs to be handled correctly. | ||||

 The church has picked its side in this. I would bet they will have some kind of underground railroad going soon. | ||||
