Illegal Still Hiding In Church

    Once again Elvira Arellano is in the news for sending her to Washington to plead her case on why she should not be deported back to Mexico. She could not to Washington herself because she is holed up in a church in Chicago and is afraid that she will be arrested and deported, breaking her family up. She has been hiding in this church since August, claiming sanctuary.

    Arellano said, "Most of the time I work diligently to continue the struggle. I'm organizing people so this kind of thing won't happen and families can be together." she spoke in Spanish so this had to be translated by a pastor.

   This is the second time that she has been ordered deported because she was convicted of using a fake Social Security  number to work in the U.S., for which she got 3 years probation. The first time she was deported (1997) for trying to come into the U.S. with fake documents. 

    Of course, now she is a symbol of what is wrong with the immigration system and she is almost a martyr for the rest of the illegal's who are here. Others, myself included, think she had her son so that she could stay in the U.S.

   Let's see here! She is convicted of a crime. That alone is more than enough to keep her out of this country. She has shown a pattern of criminal activity by fraud. that is enough to keep her out of this country!

Criminal Liability  under 42 U.S.C. § 408(a)(6)
arises when a person willfully, knowingly, and
with the intent to deceive the SSA as to his or her
true identity, or the true identity of any other
person, furnishes or causes another to furnish false
information to the SSA that SSA uses to establish
and maintain earnings records. A typical violation
of § 408(a)(6) occurs when an individual makes
false statements on an application for a new SSN
(SSA Form SS-5) for the purpose of obtaining a
second SSN to create a false identity.

The most common false statement occurs
when a defendant, in response to the following
question on the SS-5: "Has applicant or anyone
acting on his/her behalf ever filed for or received
a Social Security number card before?" falsely
answers "no," when, in fact, the defendant knows
his answer is false and it is his intent to deceive
the Commissioner of Social Security as to his true
identity. The defendant can be charged with a
violation of § 408(a)(6) for the false statement on
the SS-5 as well as any subsequent use of the
second SSN.

   If we allow this woman to stay in the U.S. then every other illegal in this country will attempt to pull the same stunt. Send a message to these people that they are not welcome here by sneaking into America! Send the church that she is living in a message that they cannot harbor a fugitive without consequences!
