The context: Illegal alien Elvira Arellano was living in the U.S. with one son. Shortly after 9/11/01, after having gotten a job at a major U.S. airport (!), she was charged and convicted of document fraud. She was ordered to be deported, but became a fugitive. Once found, her only salvation was the intervention of either Senator from the state where she was living. Neither one agreed to help, and the poor woman was deported back to Mexico.
When questioned about Arellano situation on local news, of the Senators callously and unsympathetically told the reporter:
“We live in a country of laws. We don’t do things sort of based on one person’s situation, no matter how painful.”
