Border Patrol agents responded to a 911 call from a migrant on a ranch suffering from heat exhaustion only to find the migrant had succumbed to the exposure to the elements.
EAGLE PASS, Texas — According to a source within Customs and Border Protection, the incident tells the tale of migrants who seek to avoid apprehension at all costs and wait too long to call for emergency assistance when they become too ill to continue their trek.
The source says the recent heatwave blanketing much of the south has contributed to several migrant fatalities in recent weeks in the border region. During the seven-day period ending August 5, the Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector reported five migrant fatalities but did not specify the causes of death. The source fears many more migrants have succumbed to the heat on rural ranchlands that have gone undiscovered.
Rather than call for assistance at the earliest opportunity, the migrants wait until it is evident that they cannot go on any further without help, the source explained. “By the time they do call — despite our best efforts — oftentimes it’s just too late to save them,” the source emphasized.by Breitbart Texas, 125 migrants perished attempting to cross the U.S. southwest border in July.
