“in April of this year, Border Patrol agents in South Texas, in McAllen--one of the most crossed areas for illegal traffic in the entire southern border--saw a group of individuals walking north who had already crossed the border, and they broke and ran. They assumed these individuals were illegally present in the United States, and they started moving to try to interdict them. They searched through a very large and very overgrown field. I can tell you that that area is very, very rough terrain. It is very isolating, and the brush is exceptionally heavy. On a day in April, even in South Texas, it is extremely hot. As they searched through the field looking for individuals, they happened to hear a child crying in their search. They encountered a 3- year-old boy who had been abandoned by the human smugglers when they broke and ran. This young boy, 3 years old, had these shoes on, and on his shoes were written a name and a phone number across them. That is the only identifying thing they have. They tested the phone number, by the way, and the phone number didn't work. Those human smugglers--moving people into the United States, using children as the vehicle--are prone to just cast that child aside if they slow them down. The Border Patrol agents who encountered this child wearing those shoes, took him back to the office. Those Border Patrol agents personally bought him new clothing. The fellow agents entertained him.…”
