elvira.jpgI’m not into folk/folky kind of music (and can do w/o the Jesus reference) but I’m down with the message behind Elvira’s Song.

I also want to publicly state that I am disgusted by some of the comments left here concerning Elvira’s case, particularly those comments attacking her as a mother. As a madre and as a latina, we all do our best for our children and ourselves based on our circumstances. To label Elvira criminal without a larger analysis of the immigration/race issue is ignorant and reactionary. To attack her as a mother is to show little understanding of the history of Latina mami activism.
