Our border report reflects what’s happened at the border in the last few weeks but there are so many cases of drugs and crime that we just took the cases reported from the past two days. This exposes the mess at the border and the real need for a wall there.
The
case that struck us more than any was one where a 2-year old child was found without parents at the border:
U.S. Border Patrol agents working near the U.S./Mexico International Border recently found a two-year-old child traveling without her parents.Border Patrol agents apprehended six undocumented foreign nationals two miles north of the border near Campo. Traveling within the group was a two-year-old child, who was strapped to the chest of a 17-year-old male.
According to the young male, the child had been with her mother the night before but she became tired and asked if one of the group members could carry her daughter. The 17-year-old youth, traveling alone, offered to carry the child while the mother rested.
The young man also related that at the U.S./Mexico International border, he still had the child in his possession. His group separated before crossing into the United States and the boy could not locate the girl’s mother. His group subsequently was apprehended two miles north of the border near Campo.
The child was transferred to a local child-holding facility. The two-year-old child currently is being held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody while authorities attempt to reunite her with her mother.
Multiple members of the group claimed to be members of the so-called caravan.
