The guy was trying to figure out a way to feed his four children. There is no line for him to get a visa as a bricklayer. We need bricklayers, so I’m glad he was coming. I’m sorry he was placed in a position between providing for his own children and providing for the child of someone else.

I’m glad he made the choice to be the good Samaritan and save someone else’s child’s life. I wish the anti-immigrant folks would read their Bible as to how to respond, and if you don’t believe in the Bible, then learn it from Manuel Jesus Cardova Soberanes, who is a living good Samaritan.

I’d say let him stay and I hope the “special visa” measure passes.

Frankly, this country could always use more good men and women. He didn’t have to go out of his way to protect the kid, but he did.

If he doesn’t get some sort of reward, maybe next time something like this happens, they’ll just let the US citizen die in the desert. The lesson then would become “If you help the US citizen, you’ll hurt yourself.” He saved a life and should be commended for doing that.

I agree with BobF and go a bit further, we might push him towards the top of the line, with regards to other known criminals.

The cynic in me says, if we allow him to stay

1) How many other little boys or girls will get saved ??
2) Will all of a sudden doing a great job cutting grass for a decent price and being a good guy also fits?

Like I said, cynic.

cheers,
Tom

I’m sorry but just because he helped out the kid doesn’t make the fact that he illegally stole into this country right. He did the right thing by that kid but he still doesn’t have any regard for the laws of this nation.

He needs to go back to Mexico and apply for entry into the United States just like all the other who have respect for us and our laws.

Does Border Patrol got any limo’s? He could ride in style back to where it was he came from.

Only recommendation I have, win win situation.
