There is no duty to rescue someone in distress in the US. You did nothing illegal.
As far as morality, well it's your decision to live with.

that is so prejudiced. you might dislike mexicans because illegal immigrants or any other reason, but that doesn't mean he's not human. you need to go on oprah or dr. phil and get some help, because if you have time to ask this question, but not help a innocent boy, you have some real bad issues. it's just as wrong for you to not help as it was for the driver to speed away. you are just as bad as a terrorist. how could you live with yourself, if this story is true.
just cause the kid is yelling in spanish doesn't make him an illegal immigrant. he could have legally immigrated, but still hasn't learned enough english. i translated for a girl that didn't know english, but she had passports and everything.
even if the poor boy was illegal, he has as much a right to live as you do, or more so, after your evil deed. its the people like you that cause all this hate going on in the world.

Put yourself in the Mexican boy's place. You are in a country where you are discriminated against, where you cannot speak the language, and you are lying injured in the street. People will stare, but few will offer you aid, all because you don't "belong".
How would you feel if that boy were you? If you are able to feel empathy for this young man, then you will be able to answer your own question.

Of course it is wrong if you refused to assist another human being, even by calling 9-1-1. That would have been at least a little bit you could have done.
I don't understand why you hate anybody or any particular nationality or race. I can't understand that. One's race or nationality does not create the person, as people are all different even within the same ethnicity or nationality.

fartman- What exactly has that kid ever done to you? Tell me one damn thing he has done to you? I'd like to know how he hurt you in some way/shape/or form for you to be such a greedy racist bastard. What a stupid question to ask, "Was this blah blah wrong"? , duh! You should feel shame for yourself, how would you like it if you were a tourist in some country and some native from there ran you over and the natives from there or other individuals just stood there watching you die not doing anything at all? I know you'd feel hopeless and scared. Remember moron: The only way for evil to prevail is for good to just sit there and do nothing about it.

Maybe it wasn't illegal, but it was definitely immoral. How would you feel if the situation was reversed and the boy didn't help you because you spoke english? That was a terrible thing to do. Shame on you.

You allowed your prejudices to get in the way of your doing something noble. You don't need me to tell you if what you did was wrong or not, because your karma is fcuked from here on out.

I agree with Pask.... You are karma-cally fuct. What goes around comes around... either you or someone you *DO* care about will find themselves in an equally horrible situation with a sadly similar outcome. Irony is a cruel biiitch...

I can only hope that you asked this question to make the point that we shouldn't turn our backs on illegal immigrants because they are people in need.
