Woman, 2 children drown at Mexico border while trying to cross and enter US
A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande as they tried to enter the US from Mexico on Friday night after Texas military officers prevented federal border officials from aiding them
 
New Delhi,UPDATED: Jan 14, 2024 15:09 IST
A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande as they tried to enter the US from Mexico on Friday night after Texas military officers prevented federal border officials from aiding them, US border officials and a member of Congress said.

The deaths come as a dispute over immigration intensifies between Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, and the administration of US President Joe Biden, a Democrat, with a record number of migrants having illegally crossed the border since Biden took office in 2021.

Under Abbott, Texas has increasingly sought to implement its own border controls, which have historically been the legal domain of the federal government.


Officials said the three were attempting to cross the river near Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, which is not a legal port of entry and is where the Texas National Guard this week added concertina wire and fencing.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

The same report is in many, many different media publications around the world.

Say WHAT??????

Aren't officers of the law REQUIRED to help people who are drowning,if it is within their power to do so?

WHY doesn't this come up "depraved indifference to human life" laws,and those SOB's arrested and charged?

I do NOT like the fact that illegal aliens are invading America,but that doesn't mean I want to see them drown due to official neglect. After all,isn't saving  lives one of the duties of LEO's?

 According to all the media I've read, the Texas Guard was holding the border patrol back.  I suspect, though, there is more to that story than is being reported.

@rangerrebew

I would hope so.

Purposely standing by and letting someone drown,especially children,is unacceptable.
