...Ethiopia too. But scientists say that argument is wrongheaded. "People will go to Ethiopia to see Lucy, but why should they travel to Ethiopia if Lucy has come to their local museum?" says paleontologist Richard Leakey.

Arellano's ambitions to work illegally in the U.S. predate her status as a fugitive mother who only wants to be with her citizen son.
