Two Migrants Used Underwater Propulsion Devices to Illegally Cross Texas Border River
Breitbart ^ | March 22, 2025 | Bob Price

Eagle Pass, Texas, police officers apprehended two men shortly after they illegally crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico into the U.S. The men were wearing wet suits and apparently used underwater propulsion devices to assist their undetected crossing.

A vigilant Eagle Pass resident contacted the Eagle Pass Police Department after noticing two suspicious people in their south Eagle Pass neighborhood. Officers responded and found two men attempting to hide under a bridge, police officials posted on Facebook.

The officers took the two men into custody after identifying them as Guatemalan migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Texas. Each of the men wore “full length wet suits used for SCUBA diving,” the post states. “Each was in possession of an individual water propulsion apparatus.”

Officials said the devices were used to “navigate through the treacherous waters of the Rio Grande.”

Officers turned the two Guatemalan nationals over to Border Patrol agents for removal proceedings.

Also last week, Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents seized a drone being utilized by cartel-connected smuggling scouts. Acting Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Desi DeLeon posted of the seized drone on X.

DeLeon said his agents worked with Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and the Government of Mexico to detect and find the drone. The chief said the drone is used by scouts to find a clear path for smuggling activities.

Agents used their own drone to find and arrest a group of five illegal aliens attempting to sneak into the United States under the cover of darkness, DeLeon posted on X.

Send them to El Salvador Prison.
They won’t be back anytime soon.

“full length wet suits used for SCUBA diving,” the post states. “Each was in possession of an individual water propulsion apparatus.”

Because they are poor and coming to the United States for a better life, seeking asylum from us the good guys.

I wonder why they had to hide coming in then?

“Each was in possession of an individual water propulsion apparatus.”

How much does one of those cost? Anyone here do scuba diving? I would not even know where to buy one of those things. For real is is James Bond equipment.

If they can afford all this stuff while living in Mexico, the economy down there can’t be all that bad.

A cartel probably gifted the equipment.

My thoughts as well.

Also something to think about is that you don't just jump on and ride something like that. It takes training.

And wetsuits are not one size fits all. To work well they have to be fitted.

I doubt very much that these men were coming here to work fruit farms or wash dishes in a greasy spoon.

What exactly they are here for had to be fairly important to someone with the money to finance a very expensive boarder crossing that probably took months to organize.

They should’ve just walked along the bottom like Michael Landon’s character did in that movie, “Love Is Forever”.

Here’s one that is an $1100 item. Not all that much, but yeah, not something a poor “refugee” would have.

That’s pretty complicated for illegals.

So Rosie Odonnell and other celebrity left wing maniacs are voluntarily fleeing America while these people are risking their lives to get here.

If they want to work and don’t expect anything in return....maybe we rethink this whole thing. Let the fools flee and allow those that want to work. Legally of course.

Try Costco, and you can find them online $350 and up. They really are very common now.

BB using migrants in their headline.

What’s with that?

How ‘bout illegals or better yet illegal invaders.

Been a long time since I visited their site, probably because I was not welcome there and they booted me under a different screen name than the one I use here.

It was somewhere in the Bannon/Shapiro era when Shapiro’s Never Trumper crowd set up Lewandowski on some bogus charge that was ridiculous as it was caught on camera and was clearly a nothing burger.

Checking your username, you’re probably glad to have had Hegseth return us to Fort Bragg, Fort Benning, etc.

I know I am.
