An unauthorized immigrant, who is a double amputee, was saved after being abandoned on top of the border fence.

A caller contacted U.S. Border Patrol about a man stuck on the border fence Monday night.

Border Patrol agents found the man on top of the border wall near Military Highway across from Progreso.

The man was holding on to the fence for approximately two hours, according to a news release. He was left behind by the group he was traveling with through the area.

The Weslaco Fire Department assisted agents in rescuing the man who had been clinging on to the fence.

The unauthorized immigrant was transported to the hospital for treatment after exhibiting signs of hypothermia.

Temperatures fell into the 40s Monday night when the man was rescued.

He was released from a hospital and transported to the Weslaco Border Patrol station for processing.

There is no doubt that he planned on being supported by US taxpayers for the rest of his life.

Well. that is a new way of distracting BP! I wonder what may have been going on a few miles down the border? Those illegals, have no mercy for their own, but the USA gov't thinks they are great citizens. That is adequate for convincing that USA gov't is not a great gov't!

Exactly. Any passer-by or motorist would have called 911, not Border Patrol.
