While it’s their job to help, Border Patrol agent Gonzalo Flores said the humanity of the situation isn’t lost on them. “They’re exhausted; they’ve walked a very long distance,” he said. They’re putting their lives on the line, so it motivates us to go out there to find and locate them and give them the attention they deserve and need.” “There are some Americans who say, you know, some of these migrants are crossing in illegally -- why is Border Patrol helping them? What would you tell them?” asked KSAT reporter Daniela Ibarra. “So our, our motto is honor first,” he responded. “And I don’t think that you can be honorable without being able to take care of the people that you serve or you work around that you’re responsible for.”“Maybe it’ll help dissuade those folks from trying to do something illegal entry and put themselves in peril,” he said.Daniela Ibarra joined the KSAT News team in July 2023. This isn’t her first time in the KSAT newsroom– the San Antonio native spent the summer of 2017 as an intern. Daniela is a proud Mean Green alum, earning her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of North Texas.
