As Aaron Worthing, guest posting on Patterico's Pontifications, notes, that will be cold comfort to Santillan if she ends up being deported because her illegal status was revealed as part of her publicity spree. Worthing, in fact, calls for a California bar investigation of Allred, for allegedly manipulating Santillan to satisfy Allred's own cravings for attention.
