Here?s the Kind of PR Pitch DHS Should Be Pushing All Over Mexico

Here?s the Kind of PR Pitch DHS Should Be Pushing All over Mexico

By David North

Here?s the story: Eight hapless Mexican would-be illegals got hopelessly trapped in the mud on a near-freezing day and needed three fire departments, two units of the Border Patrol, and the El Paso County Sheriff?s Office to rescue them.

The guys involved must have been terrified. Think what it would be like to be stuck in the mud, in a newly irrigated cotton field, miles from nowhere somewhere east of El Paso, and even the Border Patrol unit at the site can?t free you. Apparently it was almost freezing ? not quite cold enough to solidify the mud, but cold enough to make the mud hard to escape.

The first agents on the scene called the other five outfits, including an ambulance, and the eight were ultimately pulled from the mud; two were dispatched to the hospital, and all presumably were processed and taken to the border, though the account by KTSM News was silent on that point.

My reaction was: I hope someone got some photographs of Border Patrol Agents tenderly saving the lives of the law-breakers, preferably video footage.
