PHOENIX - An illegal immigrant who gave up his long walk into the U.S. to help a boy whose mother was killed in a van crash in the desert said Wednesday that he never thought of leaving the child.

"I am a father of four children. For that, I stayed," Manuel Jesus Cordova Soberanes said in Spanish from his home in the Mexican state of Sonora. "I never could have left him. Never."

Authorities said Cordova may have saved the life of 9-year-old Christopher Buztheitner, whose mother was killed when their van ran off a cliff in a remote area north of the Mexican border on Thanksgiving Day.

They Deported him when the found out he was an illegal immigrant.
Never mind that he saved the kids life, just send his ass back across the boarder.

It's a wonderful story Level; ty for bringing it to attention. This man should be given a work visa; we need P/pl like him here in the US.

So he took some time out to help someone while he was in the commission of a federal crime and you think he shouldn't be deported?
If I save someone's life can I then commit a crime and have it swept under the carpet?
