Illegal immigrant saves boys life.  He was probably on the way to stab some babies and got distracted, ya?

PHOENIX - 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, Santa Cruz County 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.

Her son, unhurt but disoriented, crawled out to get help and was found about two hours later by Jesus Manuel Cordova, 26, of Magdalena de Kino in the northern Mexican state of Sonora. Unable to pull the mother out, he comforted the boy while they waited for help.

The woman died a short time later.

"He stayed with him, told him that everything was going to be all right," Estrada said.

As temperatures dropped, he gave him a jacket, built a bonfire and stayed with him until about 8 a.m. Friday, when hunters passed by and called authorities, Estrada said. The boy was flown to University Medical Center in Tucson as a precaution but appeared unhurt.

"We suspect that they communicated somehow, but we don't know if he knows Spanish or if the gentleman knew English," Estrada said of the boy.

"For a 9-year-old it has to be completely traumatic, being out there alone with his mother dead," Estrada said. "Fortunately for the kid, (Cordova) was there. That was his angel."

Cordova was taken into custody by Border Patrol agents, who were the first to respond to the call for help. He had been trying to walk into the U.S. when he came across the boy.

The boy and his mother were in the area camping, Estrada said. The woman's husband, the boy's father, had died only two months ago. The names of the woman and her son were not being released until relatives were notified.

Cordova likely saved the boy, Estrada said, and his actions should remind people not to quickly characterize illegal immigrants as criminals.

"They do get demonized for a lot of reasons, and they do a lot of good. Obviously this is one example of what an individual can do," he said.

nice try Chairboy, but it is not about the illegals being good people or bad people, it is that they have entered this country without permission. That is a crime.

If someone wants to come to the US to work or live there are rules to follow to do this, they can even become a citizen if they want.

Huh?

Not sure what the point is.    that if we don't let in the illegals then every time a 9 year old is stuck with his dead mother in a van... no one will save him?

The point is that there is no point. This is a flaccid attempt at turning one man into a poster child for a population that is as diverse in moral code and character as any other group consisting of millions of individuals.

Maybe when a couple million of them up and voluntarily pay income taxes on their cash earnings there will be something to talk about. As it stands, it's an act of utter desperation for those who are lax on the immigration issue to turn examples such as this to bolster their position.

If the wetback was really a hero he would have saved the old lady also.

The question has never been are our neighbors to the south human beings but rather do they have the right to come here illegally and stay.

Given that he tried to use the actions of one man to speak for a group of millions, I somehow doubt that Chairboy is a 'big picture' sort of guy.

Ha ha, some nice overgeneralizations!  I'm against the amnesty acts, and want a strong border too, I just like poking Mr No Name in the nose.  Looks like I poked a whole bee hive of silly sausages.  I think Lazs is the only one who got it, the article is pretty biased, especially the last couple lines.

Lighten up, Francis!

Good to hear the 1st part.

I saw that 2nd line and kinda freaked a bit.  Unfortunately, i've met a lot of wack job city people, waaayyyyyy left  of where you seem to stand.
They would say that sorta thing, and alot worse, just to get into an argument, or a fight alot of the times.

It's hard to differentiate reading off a monitor sometimes.

Now that i know you were just kidding..

You should have not said that. He is a illegal alien. Just shows how mature you are.

If you're gonna get indignant about it you should insist on the pc term, undocumented alien/worker.
