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.

After all, one of these “kids” may have my SS number, for all I know.
But, that still doesn't change the fact that if he wasn't here illegally, he might still be alive.
I applied for SS a few months before I turned 62 so I would get something..
that’s one thing I checked on...I’m the only one who used the number...which I received the first day I went to an appointment with the INS when I arrived here...
so Ive had it for 45+ years...plenty of time to be stolen...
Heis travelled 100 miles from his unlawful residence of Lufkin, Texas.
no not 22...they just adjusted it ...the average age is 25 now...Harris Faulkner said they had just changed it...that it was higher than previously reported (well it would be wouldn’t it ???)
25 is older than I was when I left “the only home I had ever known” and come to “a strange country I didn’t know”
SOB SOB po lil me...
and I MADE IT !!!
What always astonishes me about “The only home they have ever known” nonsense is they didn’t want the slews of young people that poured in here several years ago to be RETURNED TO THE ONLY HOME THAT THEY HAVE EVER KNOWN. They wanted them to stay in a strange country.
Libs are nuts.
I’m sick of these criminals being referred to as “dreamers.” Why are “dreamers?” Why not schemers?
theyre Mexicans having an American Dream...
American dreams are for Americans...
these illegal aliens have their own Mexican dream...

While Congress debates issues regarding comprehensive immigration reform, the Department of Homeland Security has implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program, effective August 15, 2012, in hopes of providing some form of temporary relief to the DREAMers in the U.S. You can read more about the DACA Program here.
The DACA Program mirrors many of the requirements first proposed by Senators in the DREAM Act of 2001. As legislation around this issue evolves, LawLogix will continue to provide more information to our readers.

I do understand the sentiment of you post and somewhat agree with it.
Yes, he was absolutely a looter, coming in to town to steal from the victims.
There are lots of people like him here in TX.
They need to be excreted from our sacred soil.
By the way, excellent use of the word “succor” by you.
