KU student Chase Hamilton listens to Jimmy Wells, a No More Deaths volunteer and patrol leader, during a routine water-drop hike through the mountains. Hamilton said that a person's legal status didn't factor into his decision to help someone in distress. "Although they are illegal aliens, it's humanitarian," Hamilton said. "If we don't help them, they're going to die. They need someone to help them, and I feel that's our place. Someone's got to do it, and if it has to be me, I'm going to be the one that does it."
