Goodness, what is the world coming to when a decent act of kindness and compassion for a fellow human being gets turned into this debate about who is worthy or legal. I don''t agree with illegals coming here, I feel they should go throught the proper channels and come legally as my grandparents die BUT give it a rest already. there are pleny of worthless lazy americans that cost the tax payers plenty, much more than the illegals I would venture to say.

In this day when the news if full of who killed whom, children being raped and murdered, people hurting others, and on and on can you not just rejoice in a news item that tells us the story of a man who helped a child when that child needed help the most.

Can you not just give a rest already and be a part of the human race of which we all belong too regardless of what country you were born into.

This man did a mighty good thing and that is all I need to know.

What bull. A media manufactured story to arouse support for the illegals. He wasn''t rescued by the illegal at all. The boy was at the car site - you can read that between the lines (if he were lost in the desert as the story would like us to believe they wouldn''t have been able to find the car and try to pull the woman out)- and would have been rescued by the hunters regardless.
You could just have well slanted the story to read "Illegal Alien is Useless at Attempt to Pull Woman From Car. Hunters Rescue Boy in Desert." Brainwashing by media slantism.

"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."

Oh Bullkrap!! They know all the other details but they don''t know what languages the boy and man speak. Ummm...let me guess...the boy knew Spanish. I''m just glad the kid is okay but sad that he is now an orphan at age 9. I hope he has family that will take him in.

So, the point is that we should be thankful that there are illegal immigrants storming across the border?

I commend the gentleman for his actions but it does nothing to change the fact that he was in the middle of committing a crime.

This was a wonderfull story until we got to the little sermon at the end about these poor illegal immigrants getting charactarized as criminals.

PUL EEZE! of COURSE they are criminals. Hence the term "Illegal". This individual doing the only thing humanly acceptable in this situation does not in any way excuse the fact that he snuck into MY country with the intention of exploiting the goodness that MY taxes helped pay for.

Ok 2 stories in 1 day glorifying Illegal Aliens. Whats the deal? It''s pretty bad they qualify for so many free services here. I have friends that are hardworking older Born in America that can''t afford health care. Yet they come over the border (illegally mind you) and receive all sorts of free services. Stop glorifying them. They are breaking the law plain & simple. Like many Americans I agree come over legally, learn English, get a job, pay taxes & we wouldn''t feel the way we do. But they break the law by sneaking over, seek free services & don''t learn English. (look at our food, English & Spanish on the boxes) WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!!!!

or their land like CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, COLORADO, NEVADA, TEXAS, NEW MEXICO!!!!

Well, considering that their descendents stole it from mine, I''d say it''s mine and my peoples. However, that land was bought and paid for, I don''t care if the peons didn''t get any benefit out of it(those that were established on this side of the border did), However that is not my problem. ALL ILLEGALS need to be sent back to their country of origin.

You know its funny, you write a blog or whatever its called on here and its misconstrued, and warped into how some other person see''s it in their mind. Then you get these stupid morans that write about somthing completly different then what the discussion is about(like the ron paul nut). It ruins the whole purpose of this portion of the story. I write to voice my opinion about the story. Not to write about who should be president or what ever. I just wish all of you stupid people that think you will be heard if you write about your own personal gripe, and then post it seventeen times in a row. I myself will not read them let alone try and understand your cause. I myself think you are acting like a scared rat thats stuck in a trap and this is the only way you can escape your own personal prison. So I will say this once again . I do like what ron paul is saying but you are making it very difficult to even think of him as a president if he has followers such as yourselves. So try a different approach before you ruin his chances.

Hey rudy654....

You posted exactly what defines the illegals. "They entered with pretend goals. Their true goals were to exploit the people and the land for personal gain and benefit, while discriminating against them as well." Good job!

Illegal aliens are the refuse of other countries, living lives of crime, theft, deceit, and intrusion.
Law enforcement must act or the citizenry will do the job for them. We need to stop patronizing any business that hires, supports, or is sympathetic to illegas. I quit my newspaper because the guy delivering by car in the morning, won''t speak English.

Illegal aliens are ruining our cities, our language, and everything they touch. Deport every last one of them.

In January 2009, mcCain and Ron Paul will be sharing the same looney bin, playing poker with the other guys, "Fast Freddy" Thompson and Anne Coulter,just to pass time.

Latinos are a compassionate people. They also believe and practice indulging their sons; thus the horrific crime rate among their young males when they come to this country and among the US Latino young men. Its a complex subculture; more status and jealousy driven than other subcultures. Their compassion is touching tho.

You want to go and live off 7 dollars an hour and pay all the necessary expenses? I would like to see you try it. To tell you the truth, you are the very reason we have illegals in this country. For everyone of you who make it hard for businesses to compete and pay a decent wage, you have no reason to complain at all because of illegal immigrants. It is YOUR FAULT!!! Go get 7 dollar an hour job, granny sweetie. Let''s see how long you get to post from that computer of yours. LOLOLOL!

LEGAL American citizens also need jobs and will do them when they are available regardless if they are under "your standards" of $15.00/hr with full benefits. Posted by GrammaWhamma at 02:29 AM

Yeah right! What Third World country are you living in, sweetie?

Then start by buying produce and meat from those companies that are paying their employees a decent wage of at least 15 dollars an hour plus full benefits. Until you do that, what does it matter what you think? You already vote in favor of them with your wallet anyway.--------

$15.00 an hour plus full benefits to pick lettuce and strawberries...or pluck chickens?? What planet are you living on?

One of my kids is an assistant manager at a fast food restaurant...gets paid under $8.00/hour. Another kid is a bartender...makes $7.00/hr. My other kid works at a doctor''s office and draws blood, gives injections, runs lab tests and does X-rays and makes $10.00/hr and no benefits. They work hard for their money and don''t have benefits. So you are barking up the wrong tree. LEGAL American citizens also need jobs and will do them when they are available regardless if they are under "your standards" of $15.00/hr with full benefits.

I hope he gets citizenship instead of deportation - we need more people like him in this country.
