Texas authorities have rescued a toddler who was found shirtless and unattended in the trash near the US- Mexico border Monday.
Hours before former President Donald Trump’s visit to the “decimated” border, the child believed to be two years old was spotted crouching against a road’s metal barrier with trash surrounding him.
Not far from the scene, dozens of migrants were rescued from an evident death as they traveled into the US in suffocating conditions.
Some of them fainted and collapsed from lack of oxygen, water, and space while carried by an overcrowded truck. The driver of the truck was told to stop.
“None of the adults said that they were a family member of the minor,” authorities said.
In the meanwhile, Trump announced that he will be visiting the area Wednesday after accepting the invitation of Gov. Greg Abbott.
“I have accepted the invitation of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to join him on an official visit to our Nation’s decimated Southern Border on Wednesday,” an announcement said.
“The Biden administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and most secure border in US history, and in mere weeks they turned it into the single worst border crisis in US history.”
