Happy Holidays, You're a Hero, Thanks, Now Get Out of Here.

So apparently, being a bona fide hero in Arizona means you're spared the indignity of deportation proceedings when they cart your rear end back to Mexico. A boy and his mother (daddy had passed away, I believe) were camping in southern Arizona over Thanksgiving, when the van they were in went off the side of a cliff. Mom was trapped, the boy survived:

The boy, Christopher Buztheitner, was found on Thanksgiving evening wandering in a remote canyon a few miles north of the Mexican border by an immigrant trying to walk into the U.S. The boy led the man back to his mother's crashed van, Estrada said.

The migrant was identified as Jesus Manuel Cordova, 26, of Magdalena de Kino in the northern Mexican state of Sonora.

So Jesus finds this kid, wandering in the wilderness, builds him a fire, comforts him, and flags down some hunters. Remember, this whole time Jesus is breaking the law by being in the United States, and likely knows that he is endangering himself to help this child. Apparently he went peacefully, too:

About 8 a.m. Friday, Cordova flagged down a group of hunters and they called for help. Cordova surrendered to Border Patrol agents and agreed to be returned to Mexico without going through formal deportation proceedings.

Law enforcement even seemed to recognize that this was a good human being:

[Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony] Estrada said earlier that Cordova's actions likely saved the boy and he risked being caught to do what was right. He said it should serve as a reminder that most undocumented migrants are good people.

"They respond where there's a need," Estrada said. "We're very grateful that he was there."

Industrious, compassionate, responsive, helpful, people named Jesus are certainly not the type of people we want entering this country, right?
