Nicaraguan man drowns at Eagle Pass, Texas, trying to reach USA.

2022

A Nicaraguan man's tragic drowning was captured on camera Sunday - the result of a failed bid to illegally cross the Mexico - United States border.

C.R, 53, and his friend E.C, 42, were seen struggling to stay afloat as the Rio Grande's current picked up strength between Piedras Negras, Coahuila, and Eagle Pass, Texas.

A news camera crew spotted C, a former radio host, hanging on to a concrete column in the middle of the river while R. battled the current and tried to keep his head above water. He later went under as Texas National Guard soldiers looked on.

He left his family behind in December 2021 after he received death threats for covering an government demonstration and was among several migrants who paid a smuggler $3,000 to be taken to Piedras Negras, Coahuila, in order to reach Texas

R. was swept down the international waterway and his body found near an islet further down the river.

C. somehow continued on and made it to a second set of concrete pillars under a bridge, where he sat on top of a tree branch.

Im speaking for Mexicans only. They come here to escape the ugly ass cartel violence and why does the cartel violence exist? Bingo mf because of America's insatiable thirst for Mexicos illegal drugs! You white rats are to blame too!

Or perhaps the cartel violence exists because of the inept and corrupt police and military.

Y'all must be young. You don't remember the Gary Webb expose about the CIA controlling the cocaine epidemic. But maybe he was just crazy because he did kill himself, by shooting himself twice in the head wink wink

Shows how much you troglodytes know about anything. The US govt has created a drug epidemic in our country and in others and then criminalizes the little guys, me, you, mexicans, when it's the govt that is the problem.

You white rats are to blame too! Just like a democrat, complaining about the white man, yet they pay money to the same cartel to get them out of Mexico. If the U.S. is so racist, why come to this country? I think going to Venezuela is a better option, since they are run by Socialists, you get free heath care, or try Cuba, or Hattie.

You're not to blame? I bet there's a shit ton of your family members who do cocaine and smoke fuckloads of weed. Don't tell me you white Americans aren't to blame too b/c you know it's total bs.. Oh and by the way fuck Republicans and Democrats and fuck Mexico's president too. How do you like them apples? Also my friend we're Indigenous to the continent and you're not. So maybe you should pack up your shit and leave.

We came here legally. We had to spend money to have all the proper documents. I learned English, because that is what is expected of me. Nobody does drugs in my family, we are hard working Americans. You don't know anything about life. You need a job, and pay taxes. You have to get out more and stop acting like a victim . You're very angry, maybe focus on your self.

In retrospect the US should've kept the Rio Grande flowing as normal instead of diverting it for irrigation. It used to be dangerous to cross except at a few key points that could be patrolled. Now it's the opposite. Most of it is safe to cross and can't be patrolled. This guy just picked the wrong spot. Cheaper food wasn't worth it.

He could have shown up at a port of entry and claimed asylum if he had proof of his story being true.

That would only work if he was from Mexico.

Everyone else is supposed to seek asylum in the first country they come to instead of leap frogging them to come to the United States instead.

You don't want to come to America or any other white country anyways. You know how racist they are. It's over rated and it sucks. For anybody thinking of leaving their 3rd world hell hole, don't consider europe or america. Tell all your friends and family who are thinking of leaving too.
