Thread: Coming faster than Border Patrol can pick them up

They are coming faster than BP can pick them up.
2 instances of that here, and in the last one it was claimed child was sick

DONNA, Texas — The dirt roads in the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge curve just beside the river as brush folds over the dry cracked dirt as far as the eye can see.


It makes every road look exactly the same, which is partly why Fabiola Peña and her two sons had been walking in circles, for hours.


The mother hadn't realized they’d entered the U.S. until Border Patrol agents found them along with six other Guatemalans who had just crossed the border.


“My son, we’re in the United States,” Peña told her eldest son in Spanish. Crying, the two were overcome with joy as she told her sons they wouldn’t have to go back to their country.


Border Agent Hermann Rivera didn't have time to stop for Peña and the others. He gave them water bottles, made sure they didn’t have any pressing health issues and told them to head west on a different dirt trail, so they wouldn’t get lost again.


Then it was back in the car for Rivera, on to the next group of families.
A Border Patrol station toured by NBC News was supposed to have a capacity for about 380 migrants who had crossed the border, but instead had more than 1,200.

Nonstop

Kenny, 19, who doesn't want to use her full name, searched out Border Patrol Agents to help her with her 1-year-old daughter, Jacel Michele.
One-year-old, Jacel Michele, and her mother, Kenny, were found by Border Patrol agents after walking for hours along the dirt roads. They were lost and Kenny was worried her daughter's fever was getting worse in the heat. She poured the water agents gave to her over Jacel Michele to keep her fever down.Annie Rose RamosThe toddler had been fighting a fever in the past few weeks since they had been traveling from Honduras to get to the United States.


“Her fever gets worse at night,” she said. They had walked on the snaking dirt roads in the refuge for hours, and Kenny could feel her daughter’s fever getting worse.


When Agent Rivera found the mother, he gave her water that she quickly poured over Jacel Michele’s head.


The toddler laughed as water poured down her green shirt that read "Virgen de Suyapa" – for "Our Lady of Suyapa," the patron saint of Honduras.


Holding Jacel Michele and a plastic bag filled with diapers, Kenny said she had no other choice but to leave her home country where there aren’t any jobs to support her and her daughter.


Again, Rivera couldn’t stay. He’d gotten word another group of migrant “family units,” were wandering around on the dirt roads, in over 90-degree heat.


The Rio Grande Valley sector is the busiest place in the country for families and unaccompanied children apprehensions, according to CBP.


Rivera told Kenny’s group to wait under the shade and that he’d call for other officers to come and pick them up in vans.
“It’s like this all day long,” he said. “Nonstop.”

Give them a map with a U-Turn BACK to Mexico!

The shoes on that little baby look just about new to me. The clothes don't look too bad either and the kid doesn't look skinny either. This nation is bankrupt. Why should this kid be on EBT?

Every one of them is dressed as well as the average American and some are dressed better. AZ Patriots has been finding airline ticket stubs on the border, they fly in, but instantly they do not have the money for a bottle of water or a Tylenol.
