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.

This needs a puke alert.
So, the family ships the body back?
If he’d stayed in Mexico he wouldn’t be dead.
The pre-scripted “Dreamers are great” stories now coming hard and fast.
Will the GOPe melt under the pressure?
Of course.
Boo Hoo, send his body home.
Sorry to hear this guy died.
As I was driving in this morning, Jamiel Shaw Sr. was on the radio talking about his son who was murdered by a DREAMER. Jamiel Shaw Jr was waling home from school gunned down two blocks from his home, while he was talking on the phone to his mother who was serving in Afghanistan.
Just saving the Texans Americans refuse to save.
Another accurate title would be:
“Leftist manipulates emotions and shamelessly tries to capitalize on a tragedy.”
Some of them need no motivation, they have always been on the side of illegal aliens and their employers.
5.4.3.2.1
Cue the “Dreamer” sob stories.....
I feel bad for the person.
The FAKE, Destroy Trump Media, is absolutely shameless. If DACA weren’t under attack the LA Times wouldn’t have given this tragedy a nanosecond. People are just pawns to the Leftists.
What a brave, and courageous young man. To honor his selfless sacrifice, we must let all Mexicans in. End of story.
I would guess that where he illegally entered the US does not have a river, so he had no experience negotiating water.
He should have stuck to dry desert rescues.
See. If he had stayed home he would be alive today.
Many people risk their lives and die trying to rescue people. Americans risk their lives to save foreigners too. The fact that the LAT turns this death into an opportunity to score political points is sickening.
Right on cue. Probably being addressed and heroefied on the floor of the house and senate.
Who came up with the term “Dreamer” anyway? A Democrat PR firm?
I know it sounds better than “illegal immigrant”, but it’s all marketing.
LOL! Tough but accurate.
And criminals manned boats, brought looted supplies to nursing homes and commandeered buses to get people out of town during Katrina. Didn’t make them any less criminal-they just had non-criminal/decent moments.
