Illegal Protest

Well how nice.. What a great father Manuel Jesus Cordova Soberanes is to leave his own children in search of work in the United States. Gee I thought it was ICE who was separating families… but it turns out that illegal immigration is actually separating families. What do you know!!

I love how they are putting this guy up on a pedestal because he was nice.. he is NOT a hero by any means. And now we come to find out he is a REPEAT border crosser AND he has left children of his own behind in Mexico? I’m sure they would prefer that Dad stay home instead of be away in the US for months on end.. I guess he makes it up to them by sending those American dollars back to support the family.

I don’t want to hear another GOD DAMN sob story about houw ICE is “separating families” with raids. It turns out they are actually bringing them together..with their first family they left in Mexico that is…

PHOENIX — An illegal immigrant who rescued a 9-year-old boy from the southern Arizona desert said Wednesday he was thinking of his own four children when he halted his two-day walk from Mexico to help the boy.

Manuel Jesus Cordova Soberanes told The Associated Press that he never could have left the boy to continue his journey, even though he was just eight hours from reaching Tucson.

“I am a father of four children. For that, I stayed,” Cordova said in Spanish from his home in Magdalena de Kino in the Mexican state of Sonora. “I never could have left him. Never.”

Oh but he has no problem leaving his four children behind I guess?

If he had left, authorities say it could have meant death for the boy, 9-year-old Christopher Buztheitner, who had an injured leg, was dressed in shorts despite the desert cold and had just lost his mother in a car crash.

Certain death? From what? The temp was in the freaking 40’s. I’m sure he was cold but he was never in danger of dying for crying out loud. I’m sure it was scary to be out there alone in the desert. And here’s a question - why was he with the boy for 14 hours if he was only into his walk by two hours? That meant there was a border within a two hour walk.. and I know there was a campground within an even shorter walk - the campground where he was staying with his mother. What took 14 hours exactly???

Christopher and his mother, 45-year-old Dawn Alice Tomko, had been in the area camping, Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada said.

He said Tomko was driving on a U.S. Forest Service road in a remote area just north of the Mexican border when she lost control of her van on a curve on Thanksgiving Day. The van vaulted off a cliff into a canyon and landed 300 feet from the road.

Cordova, a 26-year-old bricklayer who was hoping to find work in Arizona, said he was two days into his walk when he spotted Christopher, who had a dog with him and held a side mirror from the van. One of his legs also was scratched up and discolored.

The two could not communicate because Christopher only speaks English and Cordova only speaks Spanish. But Cordova said the boy took him to the canyon’s edge and showed him the accident.

The two would spend the next 14 hours together before a group of hunters found them and called for help. U.S. Border Patrol agents took Cordova into custody, and Christopher was flown to a hospital in Tucson.

Christopher was reunited with family over the weekend and Cordova was taken back to Mexico.

Update: Apparently Mr Cordova started a NEW family in the US and left his old family with the four kids back in Mexico. Nice guy right? Umm.. why don’t we ask his FIRST family how nice that is eh?

Cordova said he wanted to come to the United States to earn money to feed his four children, who live with their mother, and help support his girlfriend’s three children. “I have two families, many mouths to feed,” he said.
