Break Down the Damn Door
Saying she hoped the fear of God would keep federal agents away, undocumented immigrant Flor Crisostomo said Monday she plans to stay in a Humboldt Park church as long as necessary to fight for immigration reform.
“In this moment, I am not leaving,” a tearful Crisostomo cried out in Spanish. She later said through an English translator that while she understands she may be imprisoned for her actions, she will return one day to her children with her dignity.
Crisostomo, 28, left her three children ages 14, 11 and 9 in the care of her mother in Guerrero, Mexico seven years ago to work illegally in the United States. Arrested in 2006 during an immigration raid at a pallet factory where she earned $300 a week, she was scheduled to turn herself in for deportation today.

When I read this and see Slime Coleman on the tube I wish Hitler never went into Russia.
Thats all bullshit that church is no more than a tax write off, calling it a sanctuary is a friggin disgrace.
What ever happenend to one nation under God, the real God, not the play God, not the cracker jack $25.00 dollar holy reverend slime coleman. Workin tac back in the day we had him and the preacher reverend ron shipp in custody at the great 11th and State. Going up in the vator to the mens lock up the vator stopped suddenly and slime thought we were going to beat him. They were arrested at a protest and Comm Mc Laughlin made them sit in the lock up until the prints cleared.
I should have spit in his face the degenerate, to make a mockery of this country and its laws.
If the woman needed life safing surgery we the american public would donate and find physicians to take care of her medical needs.
She wants to show the American people something, I got a set off cuffs, which would fit her boney short arms, and kick in the arcse
for her ride home.
the little spinner who was hiding out for a whole year went to los angeles for a rally and got launched back to mexico. looks like the ice guys in la have bigger cajones than the ice guys here.
The blame goes to the management of this particular church that has determined to find another symbol to represent their political stand on this issue. And that message sounds something like this "we will march with candles against gang violence and hide criminals within our walls." Taking the high moral ground is usually the best path to take however, when you start out below sea level don't think for a moment that a storm couldn't drown you.
Didn't she work under a bogus social and fake ID too? So another one guilty of identity theft and she hides in the same church.
What part of she broke the law does the church not get?
More revisionist history...Who can forget the good old days when the Reverend Walter Coleman used to sit in the front row of the City Council gallery calling Ed Vrydolyak a "mother fucker" in his previous life as "Slim Coleman"? And I had to chuckle yesterday when Channel 5 covered his combination "prayer service/press conference". That Roman collar he sports these days is a real testiment to the power of the internet and the granting of "on-line" doctor of divinity degrees. Amen brothers.
Is this a FED issue? Isn't a fed running our department? Sign of things to come? HMMMMMMMMMMM.......
To "Give Me Your Poor..."
The essay was too long anyway. Cut it down or link to a site.
She has been here for SEVEN YEARS and needs an ENGLISH TRANSLATOR!!!
And she EXPECTS us to feel sorry for her being sent back to Mexico????
Oh crap, laughed so hard I shot coffee all over my keyboard.....
It truly amazes me that even though the word ILLEGAL is spelled the same in english AND spanish they still dont grasp the concept.
It's not about immigrants it's about ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
I'd like to know, who would I have to notify to get ICE agents in a car outside the church. I'd be happy to walk into the church and exercise my right as a citizen of the state of Illinois to execute an arrest.
(Is it still ch38 107-3?)
What the media fails to mention is that the spokeswoman for the "Church", Ms. Emma Lozano, is Slime's wife, and a known leftist.
She can come back when she speaks english!
She's 28 and her oldest child is 14? Perhaps she will be a grandmother very soon when her 14 year old becomes a parent..... Pregnant at 13 / 14? Enough said.
What happened to separation of Church and state? This is a state, no, a FEDERAL matter, and therefore they should be able to walk in and extract this woman at any time. How long has she been here and STILL doesn't know English? Truly ridiculous in and of itself...
ENOUGH!!!!! Sick and tired of ALL illegals, no matter what country they hail from. Follow our laws or get the hell out!!!!!
I heard it's the Keesing Bandit's Senorita...
Now DEPORT me you FOOL!
and She DOESNT want to go back to where HER CHILDREN are???????
IF SOS WAS STILL AROUND WE'D BE DOING A SEARCH WARRANT ON THE CHURCH.....
ANYWORD HEARD JODI IS GOING TO MAKE T.R.U. THE ELITE UNIT.....
GOOD JOB T.R.U. DON'T DO DUI'S OKAY.
"The essay was too long anyway. Cut it down or link to a site."
Well, I do appreciate your considering it.
It was not, in my humble opinion, way too long, as I've seen comments as long or longer here, but, this is your site and I have no reasonable expectation or 'right' to have any comment I submit posted.
I am confident you understand the content and hope you will address the issues raised, perhaps in an article, someday soon.
It's one thing to hold a position on this issue, it's another to be as deceptive as those you disagree with, deceptive in the sense of the omission of opposing truths, said truths being left unsaid.
As in every aspect of life, there are always two valid sides to every coin, with both sides having commonalities worthy of acknowledging.
We all, I would hope, want to have an environment/country/society where we can live our lives, peacefully, with as much individual chance for success at achieving that elusive 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness' envisioned so long ago.
It's the how of doing it that presents the many problems needing solutions.
Allowing ourselves to be distracted from that goal, by the many elements profiting from said distractions, is why we find ourselves so much at odds with each other.
Distraction is a key tool in the Divide and Conquer strategies employed by those whose only goal is their own self-aggrandizement.
We do agree that an honest man should be able to dependably receive an honest day's pay for an honest day's work, don't we?
Even when there is some disagreement as to the definition of an honest day's pay and an honest day's work, few honest individuals would argue that it's right for one to profit from exploiting the adverse situations of others, as in, 'Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You'.
So, why is it that we accept this type of exploitative behavior in ourselves?
And why do we support a system that imposes the conditions, upon those who end up being exploited, that creates the very situations that are exploitable?
The only answer is that it's what we want.
Even as we protest that it's not what we want.
And what does that make us, if not hypocrites of the most egregious nature?
She sneeks into my country and then complains about the injustices here, she should carry her bean eaten ass back to Mexcio and fix the problims there first.
we (as a country) are too fucking policitaly correct, thats what the problem is. everyone is scared of what the goofy media says and its not right...
What does this criminal's actions say to those who went through the process of immigration legally?
What a slap in the face to those of us who play by the rules. Gee I wonder what were to happen if this was a polish, or Irish person seeking "refuge"? Would the press even carry the story? The answer is no!
The Feds will just do the same thing they did last time.
They block all Spanish-language game shows on the Church's cable.
She'll be out in two months.
agreed with the above posts....sanctuary? sanctuary?...if she had just robbed a bank, or shot somebody, than ran to the "church" (loosely defined), would law enforcement stop at the door, and not go in?
I mean, give me a break on this....1) Coleman is as phony as they come; if he's a reverend, I'm the Pope;
2) how about the feds (IRS) start investigating some of these "churches" vis-a-vis tax-exempt status (and do Operation PUSH too while they're at it);
3) question: why doesn't the federal government withhold federal monies from cities and local municipalities that refuse to enforce federal immigration law?;
4) something to think about: if the Dems get the White House this fall, this country is in big trouble, with tax increases, handouts to everybody, illegal immigrants coming out your ears, a full slate of liberal judges who will decide by themselves how to run your life, all under the guise of "we need a change", or "promises for the future", or some other bullshit....
Why doesn't Edward Kennedy take her home with him. Ed the skirt hound made a deal with Obama and big business so they could keep cheap labor (Illegals) working to cut out the middle class.
ICE ICE BABY.
Its a damn shame that the illegal immigrant issues are just excuses for racists to rear their ugly heads. For those who keep writing that she should speak english, if she did you would critize her for her accent. so who you crappin!!!
I wonder how you all feel about you Mexican-American co-workers?
She should talk to Corina Turcinovic and find out how she was allowed to stay here after being caught illegal.
Break down the door for what?
Some lady who is sending money back to family in an improverished village. No, why do we not go after the firms who employ these undocumented workers? Naaw, can't fine the rich, can we.
Been here 7yrs and still can't speak english...thats awesome
Well it Doesnt help when Congressman Lipinski is helping Illegals and not US Citizens or members of the Armed Forces. It is all about money and votes and illegals vote under the motar voter law. When was the last time anyone was challenged at the polls? No politician will stand up to these people. In other states they have passed laws stating that illegals will recieve ZERO ZERO benefits from local and state government. But Not here. Thanks Lipinski

Too bad, the republicans beat the democrats to it already.
12:33 Still way too long
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, please not again! Nip this shit in the bud and arrest her NOW before we have months and months of this.
America is not responsible for Mexico's inability to support it's citizens due to a crooked government. How dare they hold us to a higher standard than they hold their own government.
I don't think there are to many Americans who don't have compassion for any person wishing to come here for a better life. I wish every nation and every culture were as evolved and sophisticated as our. I wish every nation would strive for the rights of all it's citizens, would strive to create equal opportunities for all but that's not the case. And although it is noble to aspire to a higher consciousness, a higher morality, and offer a hand to even those who circumvent the system, we are not only jeopardizing this country by doing so but we are jeopardizing the kind of mindset that made this country possible. We are truly watering down the American culture, the culture that made this the greatest country in the world, the culture that made this country one where people are desperate to get here. It's really time for America to get it's head out of it's butt and start looking at the bigger picture. Our time on top is running short. In a decade or so we will probably not be the top dog militarily or economically. China is advancing fast and with 1 1/2 billion people, well, you can imagine the resources they will be sucking up. We all need to start thinking about keeping America strong or soon these illegals so many want to give passes to, well, they just won't want to come here anymore.

I agree lets go after the employers along with the city of Chicago who welcome them with open arms for the cheap labor as they take American jobs and lower the wages.I was in the emergency room St Marys hospital near where this dirty whore is hiding, and all I saw was Illegals receiving free medical service for non medical issues, ask yourself what this type of medical service cost the American people.
Who is Ted Kennedy to give amnesty to anyone?
On Topic.
If that was a Polish immigrant in that church they'd go in and pull her out by her babushka.
They don't want to piss off the hispanic voters.
"I wonder how you all feel about you Mexican-American co-workers?" Well...most of them can speak English.
I'm waiting for the day when the church lets an illegal immigrant stay there. That 'illegal immigrant' will turn out to be one of our terrorists and blow us up.
THANKS A WHOLE LOT
she had three kids before she hit the age of 20.....nice

Sorry.
I understand you've got a really short attention span.
But I didn't write it just for you.
If you've been able to force yourself and are still reading this, might I suggest that there are treatments for ADHD now.
See your local psychiatrist for a script of the proper dosage.

Mexican-Americans are United States citizens. They know the language and the culture and blend the two together. Most Mexican-Americans would serve this country in a time of need. They celebrate Cinco de Mayo and the 4th of July. Most Americans celebrate the two holidays and also eat Mexican food. They acept other cultures Illegal immigrants could careless about this country except to earn a buck. a buck that they cannot earn in Mexico. They take money away from union workers and our teenagers by doing their jobs for less money.
The Keesing Bandit says---
"...she sneeks into my county..."
"...carry her bean eaten ass..."
"...fix the problims here..."
We see where the problems are!!!
By the way, she is not my senorita. Waaaaay to fertile for this metrosexual.
Now, kees me you fool!!!
The Keesing Bandit says---
..."your essay was too long and I had to cut it...."
I almost fainted.
Oh, wait a minute. It's "essay", not "esse".
My mistake.
Now I think this fool will kees himself!!!

Another pos that wants to take advantage of our schools health care etc! Hey ugly bitch we are tired of paying for your pos illegal ass get on home to mexico thank you! Take all your illegal friends with you get out! thanks for leaving!
Yeah.
Churches that give "sanctuary" are practicing political free speech.
Therefore they no longer qualify for tax-exempt status. They should lose it.... and then see how they feel about things.
It would be so easy if anyone would try...
Hey troll, I am Mexican. I hate illegals like blacks hate thugs, like Italians hate mobsters, like Irish hate politicians. Nobody likes criminals. I support LEGAL immigration.p
Should separate church and politics, but once again, the liberals us anything to their advantage.
To that hiding bitch at the make- believe "church":
You've been in this country 7 years and you can't plead your case in English? Zero credibility.
All the money you make goes back to Mexico...great jump for our economy...by the way, does she get a "thank you" check from the government to spend? How is she going to cash it? If I were the feds I'd send her a check and hang out at the nearest currency exchange to pounce.
Note to the politicians:
1. go after the companies that hire illegals. FINE them big time up the a$$. Hold CEO's anD top brass accountable for the hiring of ILLEGALS
2. bring back jobs that have been outsourced overseas and get those on welfare, ssi and all other handouts to work.
3 make these welfare rats work the jobs that the illegals can no longer work 'cause their ILLEGAL.
4. go after any politicians who whore themselves to the lobbists and big companies who advocate the hiring of illegals
5. Less ILLEGALS, less strain on our hugely burdened health system and school system. Remember, the health debts that Jose skipped out on will somehow come to you in way of higher charges for services that those who have insurance will pay. Let's not forget our insurance plans are shrinking, more deductables, higher premiums and less service.
6. Maybe they can build schools in the areas where the middle-class live and we can get rid of the temporary shelters, i.e.those RVs they plant next to the schools. Once again, we pay taxes up the ass and get less service.
7. as far as Illinois goes, get rid of Blago, Daley and all the other crook county rats that are trashing this city and state.

------------------------------
be glad she didn't drag those kids asses across the border, otherwise they would be getting free health care and free education on our dime. I wouldn't doubt it if she has already had another kid in the US, the old "anchor baby" trick. "Now you can't kick me out 'cause my baby was born in the US." ---that was Arriella's (sp) trick.

You know, for those who think immigration is a racial issue, you're the racist. You are so blinded by race that you cannot be patriotic enough to want this country to be safe and strong. I don't give a shit where they're from. I'm as Irish as patty's pig and I hope ICE comes to Mount Greenwood and gets all the Irish Illegals as well. I don't care what your heritage is, I care who you are loyal to now, who you identify with now. If it's not America then take your ass to where ever your loyalties lie.
And off topic, to those who think the democrats are the answer, don't you live in Chicago Illinois? Don't you see how screwed up things are and how they REALLY DON'T care about the poor or middle class until it's election time. I for one am all in favor of doing away with the party system but if you used your brains instead of you hearts and/or blind bigotries (yea, you're the real bigots) then you'd see, we haven't been attacked since 9/11 while we were attacked 4 times under Clinton and 9/11 is his to own too. And you see despite 9/11's effect on the economy and the effect of all these predator mortgage brokers and the dependency on foreign oil, things are still somewhat strong. And under Bush, more has been done to improve fuel efficiency of autos then was even ever proposed under Clinton-Gore. And Bush has put more minorities in key positions then any democrat. Oh yea, but because Rice is cultured and intelligent, she's just not enough of a minority to you, nor was Powell nor was Gonzales. Clinton had Brown and might have crashed him into a mountain, read the background....It's really time for people to start thinking for themselves...And I direct this most of all toward my fellow Irish who vote democratic no matter what, slap yourselves already, geez.....

1. Do you mean in addition to the bribes, I mean campaign contributions, that businesses 'give' to the politicians now?
2. Why would businesses want to do that?
And why would you think that businesses lack the cash flows to buy every politician needed, to keep things just the way they are?
And why do you think these jobs were shipped overseas in the first place?
Do you think it was just an accident?
Politicians and business don't care how many citizens are unemployed, how many collect SSI, Unemployment Comp, Welfare, or anything else the taxpayers have to pony up for.
Did you think they did?
3. You hire the welfare rats first, after a few days, tell us how good a job they are doing for you.
There's a reason 'illegals' are preferred to welfare rats, and not just how cheaply they can be bought.
It's because they actually work, don't bitch the day away, don't pretend to be 'injured on the job' and fucking show up every day they're told to.
4. That would be every politician and every business, with few exceptions.
Good luck.
And stock up on No-Doze, you'll be needing it.
5. Remove all laws regulating all drugs.
When you have to be as critical of your 'health care providers' as you are about buying that new HDTV, you'll do the things that help you to stay healthier, just like you would if there were no doctors, no hospitals, no medicine and nobody but you to keep you alive and well.
If you don't like it, drop dead and make room for the next generation.
Make education optional, a pay as you play enterprise, by eliminating 'free' public schools, AND the taxes used to pay for them.
You want your children educated?
Enroll them in the school of your choice and pay for it yourself.
Schools are too expensive?
Form a Co-Op and pool your resources with those of like mind.
How the fuck do you think schools were created in the first place?
6. see the above.
7. Feel free to sight in your new scope.
You'll have plenty of folks cheering you on, until you get caught.
Bring back the days of yesteryear.
"Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'
Keep them doggies movin'......"
I hope all of you that are complainging about the illegal immigrants, realize that if you vote for a democrat, we will be supporting many more of them in the future. Don't be misled into becoming a workhorse for the democratic party. Your tax money has made Chicago a sanctuary city alread! If illegal immigration really bothers or offends you, you better vote for a republican who is dedicated to removing the illegals from this country. The Democrats view illegals as future voters and will never remove them!
"....you better vote for a republican who is dedicated to removing the illegals from this country."
Which Republican(s) would that be?
The ones whose supporters are committed to keeping as many immigrants 'illegal' as possible, as a reliable source of cheap labor for their businesses?
The ones who are heavily invested in those corporations who've 'relocated' to offshore tax shelter countries?
Or who've 'exported' their manufacturing jobs to the far east, middle east and central/south american regions, as well as the ones whose primary business is importing goods from China?
Which Republicans do you know who aren't profiting from the demise of the American worker?
And aren't using some of their profits to reward their Republican 'elected representatives' in a variety of clever and quasi-legitimate ways?
Do you really think the readers of this blog are so stupid as to buy into your patent bullshit assertion that Republicans are on the side of the working American?
Fuck off.
