EXCLUSIVE: Mother, 3-Year-Old Son Nearly Swept Away As Illegals Continue Streaming Across Rio Grande

A migrant mother was nearly swept away in the strong currents of the Rio Grande River while trying to illegally cross the border with her three-year-old son, according to exclusive video footage obtained by the Daily Caller.

The Daily Caller’s Jorge Ventura visited Eagle Pass, Texas, where he followed migrant groups through the river. In one video, Ventura explains how he almost got swept away with the migrants who crossed from Piedras Negras, Mexico, into Eagle Pass due to the current.

Dozens of migrants have drowned trying to cross the river, with a local law enforcement officer telling Ventura authorities find one to two dead bodies per day in the river, a figure “that’s only the ones they can find.”
