“Newly deported immigration activist Elvira Arellano, joined Monday evening by her 8-year-old son, vowed to continue her fight for immigration reform but acknowledged that she has little chance of ever returning to the United States.
Sitting in a Chinese restaurant in this bustling border town less than a day after her deportation by U.S. authorities, Arellano expressed no regrets at leaving her sanctuary at a Chicago church, saying she would rather have been arrested fighting for immigrants rights than remain in refuge.
“If my deportation has united the people, for me its good,” she said. “That price had to be paid. If thats the way it happened, Im satisfied.”"
