Del Rio, Texas – On Tuesday, Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents rescued a teenage girl stranded in the Rio Grande.
Agents were notified by Mexican authorities that the girl was stuck on an island in the middle of the river and had lost her inner tube, while trying to cross the Rio Grande, near the Camino Real International Bridge at the Eagle Pass Port of Entry.
Border Patrol agents, assigned to the Marine Unit from the Eagle Pass North Border Patrol Station, were dispatched to the last known location of the subject. Agents immediately located and transported the subject to safety. The 17-year-old, a Honduran national, was taken to the Eagle Pass North Station and processed as an Unaccompanied Alien Child according to Del Rio Sector guidelines.
It happens numerous times a day, every day. We find them in the desert thirsty, hungry, lost, injured, near death and feed ’em , fix their wounds and ailments and send em back to their own countries. Libs and the media rarely, if ever mention that!! Whatch Border Wars on nat. geo. instead of msnbc, cbs, abc, nbc, and pbs or mtv!!
I have fished in Del Rio many times and when we used to cross into Mexico we would see them jumping over the fence to get to the U.S. People who live here have no idea what it is like.
