Fortunately for the family, Border Patrol agents were patrolling the river nearby and noticed them before it was too late. The agents, driving against the current on their airboat, were able to swiftly reach them and pull them from under the water.
A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesman warned in a statement about the growing danger migrants put themselves in when they try to cross the border illegally.
