Biden Administration, National Media Ignore Migrant Children Drowning While Crossing Rio Grande (VIDEO)
A local Border Patrol station announced on its Facebook page on Tuesday that two migrants had drowned in the Rio Grande while attempting to illegally enter the United States along the Texas-Mexico border. The drownings were caught on amateur video released to local media. A man on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande, Jesus Vargas, who took the video says he witnessed two teenagers and a woman drown. He said he was able to rescue another boy he estimated to be about 13 years old.
