(Video) Video Shows Sobbing Boy Apparently Abandoned At US Border

A heart-breaking moment caught on camera as a crying migrant child approached a U.S. Border Patrol officer near the Mexico-United States border in Texas. The boy spent the night in the desert after realised he was alone.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent traveling on a dirt road east of Rio Grande City found an abandoned migrant boy crying for assistance last Thursday.

“It’s that I was coming with a group and they abandoned me and I do not know where they are at,” the child told the officer in Spanish.

The agent asks: “You do not know where they are at? They left you alone?”

His parents took him to the U.S but was not part of the migrant group he had been traveling with.

“At the end they abandoned me. I have come here to ask you for help,” the frightened boy said.

The agent asked the boy if he had been instructed ‘to come ask for help.’ But the the child replied, “No, I am coming because if I did not, where am I going to go? Somebody could abduct me, kidnap me. I am scared.”

Apparently, his fears are not without basis. Most of these children are at risk of child trafficking.

The boy is one of hundreds of unaccompanied children crossing the border each day.

Statistics revealed that 171,000 migrants caught by US authorities at the border in March. This is a humanitarian challenge for President Joe Biden. The total includes about 19,000 unaccompanied migrant children and 53,000 family members traveling together, the preliminary figures showed.

President Joe Biden and his commander-in-chief, Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the administration’s efforts in finding a long-lasting solution for its immigration crisis.

U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector chief Gloria Chavez told the network about the dangers of crossing the perilous Mexico-United States border.

‘To all parents who are considering sending their unaccompanied children to the border, please reconsider because it is very dangerous to expose children,” Chavez said.
