Border Patrol agents rescued a large number of distressed Central American migrants abandoned by smugglers in 108 degree heat on Friday near the Mexican border in Arizona.

The group of 57 illegal aliens hailed from Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, and included a teenaged pregnant female as well as a one-year-old child:

Someone from within the group called the 9-1-1 center in Sonora, Mexico, and requested assistance after crossing the border illegally. The 9-1-1 center alerted Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents, who immediately responded to the scene, along with agents from CBP Air and Marine Operations.

According to DHS, "agents encountered 21 adults, 36 minors, 17 of which were unaccompanied, to include a one-year-old toddler."

Although several people in the group "appeared to be dehydrated," according to the medically trained agents at the scene, only one person -- the teenaged pregnant female -- required further medical attention. She was provided intravenous fluids by Border Patrol EMTs for dehydration, and was transported to a local area hospital for further treatment.

Yep. The only good illegal alien is one that’s already gone home.

Thank God, otherwise we all know whom would get the blame when the MSM ran with this.

Ah, the latest tactic. This way they don't have to walk but will be picked up and given food and drink at the nice air conditioned BP office. Check that phone for a call to a sympathetic lawyer ready with their asylum paperwork when they pulled into the parking lot.

They need to be turned over to Obrador’s campaign headquarters in Mehico immediately. He is saying that if he wins the presidency, he is going to end “poverty” in Mehico. He can start with this mob.

Liberals heads are going to be exploding again.

Now Trump is going to be even more inhumane to them after rescuing them from sure death in the desert heat with no shelter...

...by placing them in a clean, air-conditioned detention facility where they'll be allowed to shower, given clean clothes, a bed to sleep in and fed. Horrors!

The Left would leave them in the desert to die trying to find that "open border" all the wailing liberal bleeding hearts are so fond of seeking.

Better dead than detained.

“abandoned by smugglers in 108 degree heat”

Abandoned? They were successfully brought over the border. Payment received, services rendered.

There are a lot of sun dried illegal crosser bones out in those hot climes. Thousands have been recovered, and are in storage. Why are we paying for storage? Send the bones back across the border and observe what Mexico does with them.

Democrats will protest this. They demand that illegals have the right to die in the Desert, and that the cruelty and abuse of being rescued and getting water and air conditioning is terrorism to these poor illegals!!

This must be fake news. The Left says ICE agents are terrorists and storm troopers.
