        The media is unbelievable! Use a natural disaster to push your narrative. If he was a US citizen his heroics wouldn't have meant as much?

        Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. You’re fighting a straw man there. Tributes have been paid to all those who died while helping.

        Why draw attention to his legal status? He was a human being trying to help another human being. He was heroic. That's the real story.

        I think his legal situation adds an important news element to the story at this particular time. But JMO. We don’t have to agree.

        PLEASE stop calling the Dreamers "undocumented."!!! It's deeply misleading. They are in fact heavily documented and regulated. Thanks!

        We get that he passed away & no one likes that, but why wasn't he LEGAL yet? If we are all truly equal then we all follow the same laws.

        Because Omar was an illegal alien does not make his death more important than the many Americans That died they had dreams hopes plans

        Neither does it make his death any less important. He also had hopes, dreams and plans.

        If President Trump hadn't recended DACA today we would never have heard of Omarvillafranca. CBS motives were obvious

        tRump's tinfoil hat brigade live in a special little bubble that filters out anything that they can not cope with or understand.
