You remember this ballsy gal. Undocumented cleaning lady Elvira Arellano caused quite the stir around here over two months ago with that tee, and everywhere else by holing herself up in a Chicago cathedral to avoid being deported and taken from her son, a U.S. citizen. Today, a full year after she first sought sanctuary, Arellano announced that she and her kid are leaving Aldalberto United Methodist Church in four weeks to argue their case in D.C. before Congress.
When in doubt, exploit your own offspring to tug at everyone’s heartstrings:

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.

Yeah, good luck making it there. We give her a snowball’s chance in hell, which is slightly better than Vegas odds.
