Elvira Arellano Has a Song

I’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.

Elvira Arellano to Leave Her Church Sanctuary
9:22 am By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Activism|chicago|Immigration|Politics|Washington DC · 4 Comments
15 Aug 2007Elvira Arellano is leaving Aldalberto United Methodist Church, the Chicago church she has sought sanctuary a year ago. She decided to stay within the walls of the church to avoid deportation and more importantly perhaps, avoid being separated from her 8 year old son, Saul . But she isn’t just going anywhere? She is taking her story and her struggle to Washington D.C.
“I will go with by Bible and my son and I will read to him from the Holy Scriptures as I do everyday,” Arellano said in a statement sent Tuesday to The AP. “If this government would separate me from my son, let them do it in front of the men and women who have the responsibility to fix this broken law and uphold the principles of human dignity.”
