Border Patrol Misses a PR Opportunity
Agents rescue disabled Hondurans thrown overboard by smugglers
By David North on June 3, 2019
This should be front-page news in Honduras, and DHS press people should milk the story for all its worth – but that does not seem to be happening.
Heartless alien smugglers – who remain at large, presumably in Mexico – threw two severely disabled Honduran men into the Rio Grande, both of whom were saved from drowning by unnamed U.S. Border Patrol agents last Thursday.
One of the men was described as paraplegic, probably meaning he can use his arms, but not his legs, and the other was a double amputee, having lost both an arm and a leg. All of this happened at Eagle Pass, Texas, and was described in this low-key Border Patrol press release. I routinely see BP press releases in English and in Spanish, but I saw only an English one on this event, which probably means that it was not sent to Honduran media in Spanish.
