Border Patrol Agents rescue a three-year-old abandoned in the Rio Grande

Release Date: July 10, 2018

EDINBURG, Texas – Yesterday, McAllen agents rescued a three year old separated from her mother by smugglers and abandoned in the river.

Border Patrol agents rescue young girl separated from her mother by smugglers Border Patrol agents rescue young girl separated from her mother by smugglers In the early afternoon hours, the McAllen Station received information from Hidalgo Port of Entry regarding possible illegal aliens underneath the bridge. As agents responded, they encountered a female claiming that her three-year-old daughter was missing. She stated that the guide/smuggler crossed her into the US alone. Then, as the smuggler attempted to cross her daughter, she observed them both drifting down river as she lost sight of them. She could not see if they had returned to Mexico or if her child drifted away by herself.

Harlingen Border Patrol Station riverine units and a National Guard helicopter deployed to the area in search of the child. Agents located the child walking on the river road and immediately checked the child for injuries before reuniting her with the mother. The child was unharmed and not in need of medical assistance.

From October 1, 2107, to June 30, 2018, the Rio Grande Valley Sector has rescued 1157 people, an increase of 53% when compared to last year.

The Rio Grande Valley Sector currently has multiple campaigns focused on rescues and danger awareness, such as “Operation Big Rig” and “No Se Arriesgue” to combat smuggling and ultimately save lives. Call 911 to report suspicious activity; “They’re humans, not cargo!”

KEYWORDS:
This story was posted back in July when it happened. This is the DHS official statement and contains details not in the MSM accounts. In light of the current storm over the death of another unfortunate child I post this to point out how large and expensive an operation was mounted to rescue this little girl. Not in keeping with the demonizing image the rats and MSM constantly put out.

How many little girls (and boys) were forced into human trafficking by our open borders??

IMO, many children were the fodder of the hussein obama open borders policies during his usurpation reign- a payoff to his rich one-world government friends.

Disgusting.

And just what kind of mother sends off her 3 year old DAUGHTER with smugglers?

I hope they checked the child for sexual abuse.

This is how little countries like Honduras , Guatemala and Mexico think of their own people.
