Does this mean Mexico will stop prosecuting Guatemalan illegals?

A Mexican Senate committee has passed a resolution in support of Elvira Arellano, who was recently deported back to her native Mexico. Ms. Arellano, remember, was the identity thief who sought sanctuary in a Chicago church for a year in an attempt to fight deportation. She was not charged with the numerous instances wherein she committed fraud and identity theft.

I do find it odd, however, that Mexican officials are so enthusiastic about supporting illegal emigrants to the United States when the government is so enthusiastic about punishing illegal immigrants from Guatemala.

MEXICO CITY (AP) - A Mexican Senate committee passed a measure Wednesday urging President Felipe Calderon to send a diplomatic note to the United States protesting the deportation of an illegal migrant who took refuge in a Chicago church for a year.

The committee also approved a scholarship to help her 8-year-old U.S.-born son, Saul, who is an American citizen and stayed in the United States.

Elvira Arellano, 32, became an activist and a national symbol for illegal immigrant parents by defying her deportation order and speaking out from her sanctuary in the Adalberto United Methodist Church. She announced last week that she was leaving to try to lobby U.S. lawmakers for immigration reform.

On Sunday, shortly after she spoke at a rally in a Los Angeles church, she was arrested and deported to Tijuana, across the border from San Diego.

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