This is a tragedy, and the state bears responsibility,” U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, said in a statement.
AUSTIN — Three migrants, including two children, drowned in Eagle Pass on Friday night after Texas troopers and National Guard members would not “grant access” to the individuals while “in distress,” according to U.S. Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Laredo.
The news of the drownings comes while the state is in a standoff with the federal government after Texas authorities took control of Shelby Park, a municipal park in Eagle Pass on the Texas-Mexico border, on Wednesday night — against the wishes of the city’s mayor and President Joe Biden’s administration.
A group of six migrants “were in distress” as they attempted to cross the Rio Grande at about 9 p.m. Friday, Cuellar said in a statement on X.

Sucks to be them.
Didn’t Texas deploy their national guard to this already? I thought this was what all the hoopla was about.
Fixed it.
Perhaps it would be useful to match those 3 against 70,000 excess US fentanyl deaths in order to gain some perspective.
Here is an idea. Don’t come.
NO
3 illegal aliens drown in Rio Grande after they enter the United States illegally.
The illegal aliens were responsible for their own deaths.

Turns out @RepCuellar
(& some media) were so eager to point finger at Texas for drowning of migrants they forgot to get the facts.
When BP requested access to river the drownings had already occurred & found in MX.
The fact is the deaths are b/c of Biden’s Open Border magnet.
Perhaps they should have gone to the nearest US embassy from their country of origin and applied for asylum within the safety of an office building. Instead they took the illegal route of crossing the border in an attempt to find an ACLU simp and died in the process. Treasonous lawyers at the border have a lot to answer for, along with Repubs and dems that promote our laws being violated along with their schemes of perpetual funding of the ACLU through their nonprofit foundations to pimp for cheap labor and power. The very “charitable” foundations which are tax haven shams in and of itself.
The Big Guy can “Federalize” it.
I wonder if these illegals had information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of Hillary Clinton. Perfect cover for Hillary’s Suicide Hotline Inc.

I blame Mexico for not securing their border.
“Why aren’t Meh-he-ko and the Cartels responsible?”
It’s the NGOs and Catholic Church who are getting paid BILLIONS by the US Government, Soros, and others*, to traffic these people.
Hopefully, the families of these 3 dead people make them pay a HUGE PRICE.
*no doubt the Ukraine Cheerleaders will also blame Russia, as they blame Russia for everything else they don’t like...but so far, no evidence of that.
Gee,
Lawbreakers die, while breaking the law?
Oh well
It’s big money for traffickers and there’s a lot at stake for them. And anyway, they shouldn’t be crossing the Rio Grande in the first place. They died in the act of breaking the law, if that’s what really happened.

BS meter = 10
...... This should read ..... "3 migrants drown in Rio Grande ..... As a result of their ill conceived Actions."
...... Unlike in the .... "Liberal Universe" .... These Migrant Idiots need to be forced to realize that there are actually consequences for their actions.
..... Deterrence is a Great Teacher. .
Correction: 3 migrants drowned in the Rio Grande.
They were a nuisance to Texans, trespassing their property, and known freeloaders.
The lawbreakers brazenly breached our borders,
thumbing their noses at our laws for their own self-serving aims.
So then it’s up to Texas rangers! That’s a tough bunch to deal with.
No one forced the criminal trespassers to violate federal immigration laws and come across the border illegally.
