In the deafening roar of Washington’s never-ending immigration fight, it’s easy to forget about the thousands of men and women doing the real work of protecting our nation’s borders. This story makes their work impossible to ignore. (Unless you’re the mainstream media, of course. Then you ignore it.) Two toddlers, a three-year-old and a five-year old girl, were dropped from a 14-foot high fence at the U.S.-Mexico border by scumbag smugglers looking to ditch the kids and get away. “On Tuesday evening, a Santa Teresa agent utilizing camera technology observed a smuggler dropping two young children from the top of the approximately 14-foot-high border barrier. Immediately after both children landed on the ground, two smugglers immediately fled the area and abandoned the helpless little girls on the north side of the international boundary line,” according to a Customs and Border Patrol report. “Responding agents found the three-year-old and five-year-old Ecuadoran children and rendered aid to them. The two toddlers are sisters and both were alert when agents made contact with them.” SEE ALSO: Charles Barkley Nails It: Politicians Fuel Racial Tensions to “Keep Their Grasp” on “Money and Power” The Santa Teresa agent notified agents on the ground, and they rushed to the scene. They found the two girls in a remote location and brought them to a nearby hospital. Thankfully, both children were OK, and they’re currently being cared for in a Border Patrol facility. Can you imagine? A three-year-old and a five-year-old girl left alone in a dark desert after what must have been a terrifying journey through central America. If your heart doesn’t break with pain and anger, I doubt your humanity. You can sense that rage in a statement made by El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez. “I’m appalled by the way these smugglers viciously dropped innocent children from a 14-foot border barrier last night. If not for the vigilance of our Agents using mobile technology, these two tender-aged siblings would have been exposed to the harsh elements of desert environment for hours,” he said. “We are currently working with our law enforcement partners in Mexico and attempting to identify these ruthless human smugglers so as to hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law.” SEE ALSO: Identity Politics is Racist, and Senator Duckworth Just Proved It Unfortunately, even if agents apprehend those responsible for this atrocity, they aren’t likely to get credit for their actions. The Democrats and the mainstream media are dead-set on casting Border Patrol agents as heartless xenophobes, and this is the kind of story that destroys their narrative. Border Patrol agents are, like the vast majority of law enforcement, decent human beings trying to help their neighbors. Whether those neighbors are immigrants or citizens, adults or children, Mexicans or Americans, they’re working to treat everyone with respect while upholding the law of our country. For this and countless other acts of kindness and humanity, they deserve all the credit in the world.
