Elvira Arellano is once again speaking publicly, expressing her disregard for American sovereignty and the rule of law in the United States. Taking a page from the liberal playbook, Arellano has commenced a hunger strike demanding better treatment of Mexican citizens in the United States of America.

A Mexican migrant-rights advocate deported from the U.S. said she began a hunger strike Friday to push her government to demand its citizens receive better treatment north of the border.

Elvira Arellano, a former illegal migrant who turned to activism during a yearlong fight to stay in the U.S., said she was holding the hunger strike “because I want our government to listen, to act, to defend our migrant families.”

Speaking to a group of Mexican migrant activists, Arellano decried U.S. efforts to jail illegal migrants, put up security fences on the border and step up deportations.

“Is Mexico prepared to receive all of these deported people and their families?” Arellano said on the opening day of the “First Parliament of Mexican Migrant Leaders Who Live in the U.S.”

“Is it prepared to guarantee an education to their children, who are U.S. citizens? Or is it prepared to defend them against all these attacks?” she said.

Elvira Arellano seems completely oblivious to the fact that the United States of America is independent from Mexico, and being a citizen of one country does not grant you inaliable rights in the other. This is a woman who has twice been deported for being here illegally, yet somehow continues to believe it is her right to be in the United States and reap all of the benefits of citizenship, without actually being a citizen. Meanwhile she demands her government defend the rights of its own citizens to defy the laws of another country.
