PHOENIX (AP) — 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, 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.

I spectacle what planet you are breathing on? A man entering the U.S. criminally rescued the 9-year-old boy! The ILLEGAL man was BREAKING the LAW! The US would in all probability be supporting the illegal criminally man in a few weeks if all of this didn’t take place or he would have been put into one of the prisons in the US soaking up the Americas hard earn money to support him! ALL illegals have NEVER ever belonged in American, as they are NOT wanted or needed! Take the Americans who are on Welfare, and put them into the jobs the so-called “Americans” do not want to do and the illegals are able to do. I don’t comprehend what is so easier said than done with this solution?

Giving jobs to Americans is slavery, but lowering the wages to 3rd world levels and giving them to illegal aliens who can’t refuse isn’t?

No, she said "put them into jobs" which is slavery.
Who says illegals don't refuse jobs? More often than not, they know their work's worth, and can demand and get wages which are higher than the prevailing rate. The law of supply and demand prevails.

“Who says illegals don’t refuse jobs? More often than not, they know their work’s worth, and can demand and get wages which are higher than the prevailing rate. The law of supply and demand prevails.”

That is another lie from a troll. The inferior work of the illegal peasant does not draw higher wages, it only depresses the wages of the skilled workers.

Show some sources for this dishonest tripe that you are trying to spread on FR.

Pertaining to casual day labor, yes, illegal aliens can and do turn down job offers which are too low, as they know what their labor is worth, as do those who need to have a job completed. The law of supply and demand hasn't been repealed by Mr. Tancredo, has it?

“Pertaining to casual day labor,yes “

That is a lie as well, I use casual day labor because they only send me citizens and they pay the Workman’s comp etc.

I pay quite a lot extra for casual labor, but it is legal, moral, and it protects both me and my customers, and frankly it shows.

If I was the type of corrupt bottom feeder that would hire illegals, many of my customers would size me up as corrupt and hire someone else.

There is no free lunch in life but there is corruption and betrayal of your nation and countryman.

People like you are the reason I come here. I like being in the company of honest business people, from patriotic military families. I could do without the trolls, but high quality FReepers like you make it all worthwhile.

We can thank our laws against Illegal alien border jumpers. If access was easier somewhere else, he wouldn’t have been there to help the boy.

Bullseye!

Surem you can find God on Death Row...And you can get all the attention ther as you can muster...

But, you should be punished for your crimes, and he was taken care of eventually...

I’m not really a person to give anyone like that a second thought anymore...

I have better things to occupy my thoughts about these days...;-)

The illegal in this case should be deported anyway...Not coddled or given any extra consideration for expeditious consideration for legally immigrating into this country in the future...

Sure, he should be thanked for what he did...It was a good thing he did to help out...

It’s like if I robbed a bank...I paused to help save a puppy in a storm drain, and got caught while I was helping the puppy...

I might get to do my parole and community service in an animal shelter after I do my time on the pokey...Sure...That would be nice...hehehe

But both felons and illegal immigrants are criminals.

I am not a lawyer. Can a lawyer (maybe you, if you are a lawyer) clarify exactly what the US Code means in this area?

No more than a first class ticket back to where he came from.

This is the sort we'd like to see obtain citizenship. His compassion and humanity speaks well for him and those qualities are prized by all. He would be an asset.

Hopefully, he'll seek entry to the USA legally. I'd favor his getting a spot closer to the head of the waiting line.

Well done, Senor Cordova. Well done.

I guess I’ve gotten cynical in my old age.

But WTH is she doing out in a deserted area, a few miles from the border, with an empty van? hummmmm?

Oh. That’s right. One article says she was going “camping”.BS.
