Honduran girl, 8, arrives at US border alone, surrenders to Border Patrol agents
|
 [NYPOST] An unaccompanied 8-year-old Honduran girl surrendered to Border Patrol agents after crossing the Rio Grande River into the US with no contact information for her parents — one of the continuing flow of thousands of children and adult illegal immigrants colonists arriving at the border as the Biden administration struggles to deal with the dramatic influx.
The girl, identified as Emely Antonio Dominguez Valdez, was photographed by the News Agency that Dare Not be Named standing on the riverbank on Thursday in La Joya, Texas, after wandering for miles on muddy paths after she was separated from her guides during a storm.
She was traveling with a man who had the phone number for her parents in the US.
Now, she said, she has no way to contact her parents.
Emely’s story wasn’t unique among other young migrants colonists.
A 15-year-old Honduran girl told the AP that she traveled for a month and a half without her parents or siblings on the dangerous trek to the US so she could get an education and help her family back home.
The teen, not identified by the AP, arrived with a larger group of migrants colonists at a baseball field wearing a black T-shirt that said: "Women Move Mountains."
She didn’t understand the phrase written out in English.
"I wanted a better future for me and my family. I want to study and work," she said, noting that her relatives in New York offered to put her up at their home.
