Elvira continues

Elvira Arellano, the illegal alien who was deported with much publicity, is helping to organize May 1 protests in the United States. I was reading a description of her efforts and was intrigued by an article's description of her agenda as "Movement Mesoamerican Reform."

"Migrant reform," "immigration reform" and "comprehensive immigration reform" have all become synonymous in the many journalistic venues for "pro-pathway to citizenship reform" or "amnesty," and some journalists even use these terms in a way that would indicate the audience should assume that a menaingless, open-ended term like "immigration reform" merits such a definition.
