Alonso Guillen drove more than 100 miles south from his home in Lukfin, Texas, last week, determined to help those trapped by Hurricane Harvey flooding in the Houston area.
But he and another man disappeared after their boat capsized in a flood-swollen creek Wednesday ...
Guillen moved to Lufkin at age 14 from just across the border in Piedras Negras, Mexico. He later graduated from Lufkin High School, attended St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, worked in construction and at a local club, Rodeo Disko, and radio station, SuperMix 101.9 FM.
He was known as “DJ Ocho,” who mixed country and hip-hop, followed Texans football and the Houston Astros, played softball and soccer, sported Cowboy hats and red, white and blue sunglasses.
...
Guillen masterminded the rescue trip to the Houston area just like one of his radio station fundraisers: on the fly, with friends’ help. After the storm hit, they borrowed a boat and drove south to save strangers.
Like many in Texas, Guillen’s family has mixed immigration status and is divided by the border. His mother, a Mexican national, still lives in Piedras Negras, Mexico, with one of his brothers. His father is a legal resident, and his brother Jesus is a U.S. citizen.

“Dreamer” trying to save “Non-Dreamer”

Custom delivered news. I encourage the new terminology.
That’s tragic. But borrowing a boat to take into such an unstable situation is a bad idea if you aren’t an experienced boater.
So if an illegal doper saved someone in Harvey, do we let all illegal dopers stay on? This is how the media has manipulated Americans for decades, shame them into accepting socialist rule.
So, according to ‘liberal logic’ one illegal dies attemping to doing the right thing and a million illegals should become citizens?
Gimme a break.
DACA is Caca!! DACA es Obama’s Caca!!
If you check the many versions of this story, you will find that the liberal hero was most likely a looter!
It just don’t line up with the facts. Some stories have him running into a bridge while driving to Houston. Others having him drowning in a small creek while trying to reach a apartment complex as the hurricane hit.
I vote that it was the latter, and he went to loot the apartments that had been evacuated.
Why was he there when the storm hadn’t even hit yet? He didn’t live near there.
A looter is what he was!
LOL!
Guillen moved to a island with the Skipper, and...
30 years old....I thought dreamers were kids!!!!
For every one BS feel good,propaganda,Alinski-esque drivel,I can give a hundred sickening examples of why they should not be here in our country.
But he wore red , white , and blue sunglasses .
> If he’d stayed in Mexico he wouldn’t be dead.
Best comment on the thread !!!
No, they don't. But not ALL deserve to be summarily ejected from the only country many of them have known. There is NO easy answer to this one.
Link please
oh stop with that bleeding heart “only country they have ever known” junk...
what do you think IMMIGRANTS experience ???
Clue:
they leave the only country they have ever known and come to a strange country they have never lived in ...
I did it...they can too...
Plus unlike po lil me, the illegal alien “children” wont be alone..they have their illegal alien parents going with them to help them adjust to the old country...plus more family at home to welcome and succor them..
Keeping families together...how nice...
their parents use to live in the country they are being deported to...
PLUS many of the illegal alien so called “children” were grown ups they were TEEENAGERS 16, 17, 18 29 years old when they came here...
many of them are older than I was when I left “the only country I had ever known”
I made it ...why cant they ???
sounds like they aren’t good material to be in our rugged country...they better go back home where they will be safe and comfy...
