A Reader “On The Trail”
Knows Who Saul Arellano’s Father Is

Re: Joe Guzzardi’s Column:
Where Is The Father Of Elvira Arellano’s “Citizen
Child”?
I read in the Yakima
Herald-Republic that
Saul Arellano’s father was a hop worker in
Yakima, an eastern Washington town.
From a September 10 story comes the following
information:
“It was when she (Elvira)
began dating -- and then became pregnant -- by Saul's
father, a hops field worker named Benjamin, that
Arellano's life changed dramatically, relatives say.
“Arellano said he was angry and reprimanded her for
not taking measures to prevent the pregnancy. He
suggested she get an abortion.
“Heartbroken, Arellano
refused to see Benjamin again.
“On Dec. 18, 1998, she
gave birth to Saul at Providence Toppenish Hospital. His
birth certificate does not name the father.”
[“Activists Road Runs Through Yakima,”

The story has other interesting details of how
Arellano got into the U.S., with the help of a
coyote, and how she worked in a laundry and went
to Mexican dance clubs.
Junti describes
herself as a long time conservative political analyst
known on the Internet as “Grassroots Granny”. She
has managed the
WGEN e-mail network
for over 11 years.
Joe Guzzardi
adds: We had a ton of mail speculating on the
circumstances surrounding Saul’s birth. Among the reader
responses included the theory that a rich agri-business
tycoon impregnated Elvira. Another reader suggested Saul
was the result of a
sperm bank visit. Could Saul be, some wondered, the
result of a misadventure when Elvira took to hooking to
supplement her wages? And many readers thought that
Saul’s father chooses to remain “in the shadows”
because it would be too embarrassing to have his affair
with such a disreputable woman be public knowledge even
though he is unlikely to be any better..
