Illegal Mexican Border-Jumper is called "Hero"

This is a good story. The guy's actually pretty young, but he's got a strong fatherly attitude already. Sure, he broke the law getting in here, I think that can be overlooked considering what he accomplished. I'd imagine the local authorities cut him a lot of slack, too.

I think that there is a good chance that someone will read this story and offer to sponsor his legal immigration into the US.

Me too. Hopefully the boy's family or acquaintances can pull some strings, but if not, maybe someone in the community could.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Darsh, even if you view this man having "too many" kids as a mistake, you have to at least respect the fact that he was willing to break into another country, walk over 50 miles through a desert, and risk any number of lawful penalties just to give his children a chance. Not only that, he gave it all up for some stranger's child he met along the way, all out of the goodness of his heart. We don't know enough about this man's past to condemn him like this, but the actions presented in this article present him as a much more commendable person that you make him out to be.


But enough of all this unpleasantness! Can we at least agree that we could use a few more selfless people like this in *any* country?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
