Jesus saves… so we deport him

Manuel Jesus Cordova Soberanes, who found  nine-year old Christopher Buztheitner, wandering alone in the Arizona desert and stayed with the boy until help arrived has been deported.

Christopher’s mother was killed when their van ran off a cliff in a remote area north of the Mexican border on Thanksgiving Day. The 26-year old Cordova was about 50 miles from Tuscon when he found the boy, who had walked away from the crash, wearing only a pair of shorts.

Neither Cordova nor Christopher spoke the other’s language, but the boy took the migrant to the edge of a canyon and showed him the accident site.Cordova gave the boy the sweater he was wearing, climbed down to the van, and found chocolate and cookies to feed him.

He then built a bonfire, and the two hunkered down. The boy slept most of the night; Cordova kept watch and tended the fire.

Fourteen hours later, a group of hunters found the pair and called for help. U.S. Border Patrol agents took Cordova into custody, and Christopher was flown to a hospital in Tucson.

At least Adriana Hoyos Rodriguez, Alcada of Magdalena de Kino, Sonora had the good manners to thank the guy, even if no one else did.
