@TucsonSentinel Considering he and his mother had to avoid all the border infrastructure and they wouldn’t have taken such a treacherous journey if it weren’t for prevention through deterrence policy, it’s ridiculous, and quite frankly disgusting, to claim Border Patrol rescued him. If someone were to, let’s say, push you off a roof but then they called an ambulance, would you say they were a hero? Probably not.
