Poor kid. There was no way they could have flown him out though. Did you see the part about smugglers trying to get drugs thru? Not to hijack the thread but the border patrol has got to operate as usual. I could see situations like this used by terrorists.
Yes, was pleased to see the coverage reporting how hard the border patrol was working. I recall stories post Hurricane Andrew where a whole lot of immigrants received “replacement” green cards. In broken English, many said, “lost green card.” In those days, many permanent records were lost in the storm, including vaccination records, etc. It was a mess.
