Border Patrol agents threw ropes with rescue devices and shouted at the migrants to grab the bags.

All nine migrants survived, according to the Express-News, and they were taken into immigration custody. “The mom had the kid over here, and she lost him, and he was drifting off. I didn’t want to wait," he said.Bob Owen / The San Antonio Express-News via APafter a raft carrying nine migrants flipped

I'm surprised you show a border patrol person doing something positive for a child. Seems so against what MSNBC pushes

This is the IMAGE of America. This is why people want to rio everything to come to America

yeah and put him in a cage

Right thing to do.. Right! But still a great act of humanity..

Thank you for your humanity

Then thrown in a cage

Stuff him in a detention camp when he's all dry. Are they really saving him or just changing the peril.

When I’m president there will be lifeguards and swim instructors stationed every 100 feet along the Rio Grande PanderBear2020

Why would any parent put their child in this situation?

They need to go back

Build the wall and keep them together on their side of the border

Two lives in jeopardy because there’s no wall.

Boy, they’re just awful people.

And this is a daily occurrence! But hey, there's no crisis so continue to ignore.

What crisis. You 🤡s.

StephenAtHome LindseyGrahamSC KingJames CNN AP_Politics ComedyCentral jimmykimmel TheView realDonaldTrump Glad u got that photo now show the other 2 you have, 1 where a screaming crying child is being pulled away from his parents & other 1 of children being lock in cages

I'm surprised MSNBC put this on the air. The last thing dems want is to show the border patrol having heart. Most of the dem elitists haven't even visited here to see what a mess congress has caused.

Thank you for your kindness, Sir

Chump is going to have that man fired!!! We real Americans applaud that boarder agent for defying his superiors and respecting humanity 👏👏👏

SHUT THE BORDER DOWN!!!!!

But don’t the democrats say that Border Patrol is evil?

Now his life permanently separated from forced birth (Catholic dogma) is a happily ever after thing, right MindlessProcreationAintWorthIt

Good work Border Patrol

All the people quick to say shoot immigrants like Trump joked about. Would these people have just watched this boy die and laugh? Wake up America we are better than that. Glad to see some human compassion!

That's great! Little does he know he was saved so he can die in custody. 😥 ReleaseTheKids FamiliesBelongTogether TrumpConcentrationCamps

its good he didn't have to pass civics test first

OMG! YOU POSTED SOMETHING NICE ABOUT ICEgov .... we must defend our patrol agents and kids (from trafickers) - EXPOSE THE SEX TRAFFICKERS POSING AS PARENTS OF KIDS....

Thank You.

Now show the migrant children the Border Patrol have jailed, especially the ones in cages.

More reports of what these officers to do day today to save many illegals taking extreme risk to get into the United States would be nice to see. No nasty comments needed by ignorant liberals. Thank you Border patrol and ICE for keeping the country safe.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸ICEgov

How could they do something like this would be your typical headline

Racist border agents at it again

And why do you people at MSNBC always put the border patrol people down you call and tyrants and All kinds of names here is saving somebody give credit where credit is deserved

Thank you gor showing vorder agents doing good things at the border Duck Donald duck realDonaldTrump

I'm hearing the boy got a paper towel and then shared space in a cage. Seriously, that agent is a hero. But yes where is the boy now?

Well done, good sir. I hope Trump won't fire him for such an act.

The progressive left is allowing children to be used. Families to make a dangerous journey by encouraging and promoting MASS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

Thank you 🙏 ImmigrationMatters VoteBlue

It's sickening that the parents of these kids don't care if they drown or not. The parents should be thrown in prison and the children returned to their country with a relative that actually cares about them. This is insane.

No crisis at the border?

So who told this kid he could survive the rio grande with a couple of inflated grocery bags tied to his upper body?

Finally one human recognizing another, doing something the world can respect.

MSNBC, didn't you spit out reports for the longest time about how abusive/terrible the boarder Patrol is to these immigrants? What's the major change of heart?

Then he takes the boy away from his parents and locks him in a cage.

Did Trump order them to put him into the cage right after or did he get a sandwich first? 🙄

When the cameras left they threw him back in

Hey, if that had been realDonaldTrump in the water, he would have handed that drowning boy a 'Welcome To America' anvil. 😂

Hero!

Needs to be more of this in the world.

Wow. They finally saved someone instead of killing them.

This hurts my desired image of Border Patrol
