A man is trying to secretly make his way into America, but comes across a horrifying scene. He is faced with a choice, and makes the right one. The US authorities have a choice, and make the wrong one. A heartbreaking story that shows that character is not determined by legal status.
From The Unapologetic Mexican:
ONCE AGAIN, a Mexican Being was where he was not supposed to be, and just look at the consequences.
PHOENIX - A 9-year-old boy looking for help after his mother crashed their van in the southern Arizona desert was rescued by a man entering the U.S. illegally, who stayed with him until help arrived the next day, an official said.
The 45-year-old woman, who eventually died while awaiting help, had been driving on a U.S. Forest Service road in a remote area just north of the Mexican border when she lost control of her van on a curve on Thanksgiving, Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada said.
The van vaulted into a canyon and landed 300 feet from the road, he said. The woman, from Rimrock, north of Phoenix, survived the impact but was pinned inside, Estrada said.
Her son, unhurt but disoriented, crawled out to get help and was found about two hours later by Jesus Manuel Cordova, 26, of Magdalena de Kino in the northern Mexican state of Sonora. Unable to pull the mother out, he comforted the boy while they waited for help.
The woman died a short time later. [...]
As temperatures dropped, he gave him a jacket, built a bonfire and stayed with him until about 8 a.m. Friday, when hunters passed by and called authorities, Estrada said. [...]
Cordova was taken into custody by Border Patrol agents, who were the first to respond to the call for help. He had been trying to walk into the U.S. when he came across the boy.
The boy and his mother were in the area camping, Estrada said. The woman's husband, the boy's father, had died only two months ago.—Illegal immigrant rescues boy in desert
Jesus Manuel Cordova is an American hero. He surely knew that if he waited with the boy, his "status" would be revealed and he'd be in trouble. In a sane nation this man would have been granted immdiate citizenship as the hero he is, here we deport him.
PLEASE send this story to every immigrant-basher you know or can find. Remind them that Jesus Manuel Cordova is a better American than they are.
