Id be interested to know why he was really in Houston...
its easy to make up a sob story about an illegal alien to make him look like a hero at this time...
oh look how all 800,000 illegal alien “children” are so nice ...they all deserve to stay...
Shame that the article focused on his status and so many of those here opt to ignore a selfless act and make jokes about someone who did more than many of the jesters ever did or ever will do for their fellows.
Before ginning up all the scripted hate, we need to look at the whole situation.
Overly rigid approaches will fail, just as overly lax ones will.
It’s Congress’ right to declare who qualifies to be here and why. It should exercise that right, and Trump is correct to comply with the constitution here on DACA.
Once our right is established, then we have a basis to establish policy out of strength rather than weakness. We CHOOSE to welcome “certain” people not because we couldn’t possibly go any other way, but because before God Himself that is the manifestly ethical and moral choice.
Borrowed a boat, wasn’t his. Unfamiliar.
“Hey, I can drive another guy’s boat in faraway floodwaters and rescue people and be a hero on YouTube and TV, just like those rednecks!”
Um, not true. Fatally untrue. Another Darwin Award recipient.
Mexicans having “American dreams”
they should stick to their Mexican dream...
American dreams are for Americans...
DREAM stands for something...
Yep. They’ll cave.
The problem is the “feds” will refuse any EO they don’t like.
LORD, may the poor lad rest in peace. Please spare us the avalanche of dreamer sob stories which will be inundating us by TPTB.
If the lad failed to follow our laws, he more than likely failed YOUR’s as well.
Amen.
And yet suppose it was whatever you want to call a genuine redneck who did it, yet died.
At some point we are going to fall for the heartlessness trap if we keep on going down that script. That’s what the lefties want to DO... they want the conservative bloc to condemn itself.
So very sad. A very brace young man, who, but for his mother smuggling him into a foreign country, would likely still be alive in his native country.
OK, what is the basis of this theological judgment?
Did not Jesus order the borrowing of a donkey?
Okay so the rest can stay and mooch us then right? Go away morons.

“a selfless act”
It may well have been, but I’m not so sure it wasn’t a radio jock’s poorly considered PR/fame stunt. Sad, nonetheless.
The funny thing is, that this was never said.
Knees are jerking.
Yeah, what if a white redneck wearing a MAGA hat died trying to rescue several black children? What type of eulogy would the LA Times crafts for that?
If he hadn’t been here illegally, he might still be alive. I know, that’s cold! But, true!
I’m here in FL, where most everyone seemed to be buying water at Publix the second it opened this morning in advance of Hurricane Irma.
Except the “dreamers”. They are holding a rally somewhere in the area, lighting candles, and screaming about Trump.
As a funny aside one was holding two signs. One said “respect all life”. The other said “Fu.. Trump.” LOL.
And so should what fools say or don’t say be the basis of what we deem right?
Shouldn’t it be the old fashioned ethos that was taught by the bible to ages immemorial?
It also misses the point about what was attempted, which is the big story. You are setting yourself up to be labeled a fool.
It’s true that the people who are trying to base love on hate are going to need a radical rethink.
