On the Mexican border, US soldiers and vigilantes are cracking down hard on illegal aliens. But the millions still willing to risk death to reach America have an unlikely new ally.

“Every morning during the summer, while the sun is still nestled behind the desert mountains, Roupp, a 52-year-old school teacher from Massachusetts, loads bottles of water and bags of food into a white SUV and sets out on a long, daily drive that takes him deep into the state’s vast, scorched wilderness and closer to the border with Mexico.

His self-appointed mission is to search for illegal aliens in distress: people who, while attempting the dangerous and increasingly fatal crossing into the States through some of the hottest, harshest terrain in North America, get lost, break bones, pass out, or emerge from days in the desert in need of immediate medical assistance.”
