Migrants use rope and homemade rafts to cross the border
NBC’s Tammy Leitner spoke with Penitas, Texas Police officer about how migrants cross the border. Just near the Rio Grande River, many migrant families use rope, ladder, and homemade floating devices to get into the United States illegally. There are still 2,551 migrant children ages 5 to 17 that have yet to be reunited with their parents.
