The hombres illegally crossed into the U.S. that morning with a human trafficker guiding them and eventually abandoning them. Lacking a GPS and a sense of direction, the men got lost and didn't know how to proceed.
Nearby, U.S. Border Patrol agents were alerted to migrants moving through the area, disproving Nancy Pelosi's "Just Cut the Grass" theory on how to keep illegal aliens on their side of the border. The agents found the men in the grass and swooped in to arrest them.
The illegal alien business was booming in the Rio Grande Valley one of the busiest crossing points for migrants trying to sneak into the U.S. The authorities rounded up 61 migrants, Valdez among them that morning. Ten migrants were caught with the use of a tracking dog in a sugar cane field.
Several of the illegal migrants didn't care a fiddler's fart about Trump's tough talk about the border and his threat to end the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) unless Mexico intervenes to "stop the big drug and people flows."
Trump's frustration over border security was renewed over the weekend when he heard about the "caravan" of Central American migrants traveling through Mexico toward the U.S. border. The main issue President Trump was elected on was border security, and boy, was he upset about that caravan.
Months after he took office, the migrants caught along the border decreased significantly, hitting a record low of about 15,700 in April, well below the 42,400 in January 2017, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
However, illegal aliens are making a comeback in sneaking into the country. In the first months of this year, arrests have reached levels close to those seen during the last year of "Open 'em Up" Obama.
Rising arrests of families and unaccompanied minors are of great concern because they are more difficult to send back to their countries.
Manuel Padilla, chief of the border patrol's Rio Grande Valley sector, spoke with Reuters and explained that families often walk right up to the first U.S. official they find and ask for help. This accounts for about 49 percent of all folks illegally crossing.
"It doesn't matter how many agents are out there," regarding families, Padilla said, when it comes to families, "because this population is turning themselves in."
Sounds as if they've been coached.
Back to 20-year-old Valdez.
He worked as an electrician's assistant back home in El Salvador, and previously attempted to sneak into the U.S. illegally in 2016, but was picked up by border patrol officers. He was wandering lost and thirsty in the desert for four days--definitely not the sharpest knife on the Christmas tree.
After six months in detention, he was deported in 2017. However, he decided to try sneaking into the U.S. again after gangs threatened him at his job, he said.
"Necessity forces people to leave their countries so they can bring a better life to their families," he said, attacking the liberal belief that the U.S.A. is a terrible country filled with terrible people who voted for Donald Trump. "That's why people are willing to suffer through all this." [And are willing to circumvent the rule of law for their own gains.]
After his arrest on Monday, he was searched by the arresting agents and then taken to a processing facility with his companions where he will receive "three hots and a cot," an exercise yard, and color TV.
Those previously deported are often quickly sent home. But illegal aliens traveling with small children often spend only a few days in custody and parents are usually released with an electronic ankle monitor and ordered to appear in court with their kids on a specific date for deportation proceedings. Trump doesn't like this practice, which he calls 'catch and release,' a term often used by fly fishermen who fish mainly for sport, not for food.
Another guy, Jose Romero, 27, tried to sneak into the U.S. along with his 8-year-old daughter. They hid in the back of a dark cargo truck.
Back in his mountain home in Honduras, Romero was making $4 a day as a farm laborer for his family of five. He doesn't believe that illegal migrants can be deterred because their country is ["a s***hole] exactly how President Trump described it so ineloquently.
"They will keep coming," Romero said. "The people are afraid."
If, as the liberals say, the United States is such a miserable country, filled with horrible, racists who love their guns and have wreaked destruction all over the globe, why do people from all over the globe want to come here?
