I also agree with learning English; Elvira seems to know enough to be dangerous, but apparently not enough to be courageous, as in doing what it takes to keep custody of her son.Tom O'Toolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08154253631377217778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35239384.post-38082402190622097462007-08-21T15:36:00.000-05:002007-08-21T15:36:00.000-05:00Well, from my chair . . .<BR/><BR/>Her son should just have gone with her. If motherhood and family rank that high with them, they should have been returned home together.<BR/><BR/>And, I don't know about just arresting, fining, etc., of the culpable employers. I think that <I>deporting them</I> some place not very comfortable would get needed attention from the rest of the commercial quarter. How about gardening in Death Valley?<BR/><BR/>Commonsensibly, I think that there is one standard that should be required of every person who comes to this country: Learn a day-to-day working ability at English in very-short-order or go back where you came from. <BR/><BR/>"'Culturally diverse' multi-lingualism" is for the birds. Learning English is first-base in assimilating here if you want to stay here. And, moving around the bases and getting home and scoring means embracing everything it takes to become a citizen.Pristinus Sapienternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35239384.post-69394543996460769302007-08-20T18:09:00.000-05:002007-08-20T18:09:00.000-05:00Wow!

Her statement sounded like propaganda from the Socialist Workers Party. She is a pawn, no doubt.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, in my opinion, she has abandoned her child by her actions, causing him to be separated from her by forcing this deportation.<BR/><BR/>If the authorities have any fortitude in Illinois, they will file child abandonment charges against her, issue an arrest warrant and have her arrested the nest time she surfaces. <BR/><BR/>I won't be holding my breath for all that to happen.JimAroohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11420420316937735549noreply@blogger.com
