Crossing the Rio Grande River is a dangerous task that claims the lives of hundreds of immigrants each year. Now, a U.S.-based network is informing prospective illegal immigrants of a class that will prepare them for the crossing and likely inspire more to attempt the journey.
Univision, a Spanish-language network and media company, aired a segment that promoted a swim coach in Mexico and his efforts to teach immigrants how to illegally cross into the U.S. via the Rio Grande River. On the broadcast, Univision anchor Borja Voces introduced Mario Veneiro, the swim coach who is responsible for simulating currents in order to prepare immigrants who will swim across the Rio Grande and enter the U.S.
Crossing the Rio Grande is no easy task, with violent currents and alligators just a couple of the threats that make the journey so dangerous.

Veneiro was asked by Voces and fellow anchor Carolina Sarassa how he trains immigrants for crossing the river.

Snakes like slower moving water.
Since they're foreign owned since 2020, they are in fact foreigners aiding and abetting a foreign invasion of the United States, an act of war.
Human garbage.
IF you cannot swim by the time you are standing at the Rio Grande-—a video won’t teach you.
