Thank you for the Cop for being empathetic and kind with him.. he is 18, but still just a kid in my eyes 😢
No dumb cop. I think that migrant killed and robbed other migrants. The sheriff probably almost caught him in the act.
I think that migrant killed and robbed other migrants. They search that area
18 is absolutely just a kid
Being 18 is only an adult in the eyes of the law but still a baby in life .
I remeber being eighteen thinking I had the world in my hands and I was an adult, I'm 24 now and feel dumber than ever before. Illegal or not the sheriff trested him like a human being
Fhim deport 18 is old enough to vote so its not a kid
Oh my this breaks my 💔😢I wish they could make these cartels were identified as Terrorists and put behind bars 🤬🤬🤬
😅 I'm crying too 😂
@franklinj1038 I would be too with that face. What's funny is you thought it was good for a profile picture 😂😂😂😂😭🤚😂
The guy paid the cartel to smuggle him across the border illegally. He’s an adult, he made his choice, and knew what he was getting into. Worry about real victims!
@@shaina2323 Grow up. You got balls saying smack to a random stranger online. One day you will regret it.
I’m scared they’re gonna get him when he goes back
The Sheriff was so kind. I pray all goes well for him and his family.
He doesn’t want asylum. He wants to work and do it the hard way . Much respect to that young man. I hope he makes his dream reality. A man from the working class we are all trying to get somewhere
He van work in his country
@@junglesuperstar9270 bet you're unemployed huh?
Yo jungleboy
Your moms is hiring?
@@floresjose4149 how is mom connected with anything ?
Your all wrong his guy is a predator. I bet if you search the area you'll find a crime scene close by. The sheriff probably almost caught him in the act. Thus why he put on the crying bit.
Poor baby, breaks my heart. I’ve never seen an immigrant in tears they were genuine. Hopefully dad will help but there’s nothing like mom’s love but he was doing it for her makes me so sad. If he still needs to come to the US he will be well cared for when he arrives. We love you Hector God bless your heart and precious soul. You are a true survivor.🫡🥺🥰
I pray for God's angels to keep him safe wherever he may be. This is one brave young man.
I AM PRAYING FOR THIS POOR BOY!!!!! Life is so treacherous in so many places in this world.
TRUMP 2024
@@silentmajority8365balls small asl
I am crying. What a trauma.
Im so glad ges with his mother i pray for him and families safty in Mexico
My heart breaks for those suffering.
Donate water, medicine, and love my friends. And tell your own families how much you love them
This poor kid is one of those who truly want to work and work hard. I feel so bad for him, clinging to the officer saying "I want to go back to my family"and when he said "I want to go back to my home with my mom" in tears I also teared up. I'm so glad he was saved, he's just a kid who was threatened by the cartels. He deserves a second chance safe from them ):
Well that s sad. I been in the desert and yes in 30 minutes of walking you can get disoriented fast, he was just a kid. Well good ending, most don't end well.
He is sooo adorable. I hope he is safe
Can we get an update on hector? He had been on my mind for days and the sheriff as well. They both need many gifts for being an angel in uniform. Please news nation update on hector and the sheriff.
Americans hands down are sympathetic but we cannot solve the worlds problems by importing all of them. He was in bad shape and god bless the officer for taking a good understanding approach!
Exactly, Immigration does NOTHING for World Poverty.
If we want to help these people, we do it through Trade Policy.
@@LordDirus007exactly and we really need to stop "helping" militarily in countries it just results in countles unnecessary deaths and we always leave the countries worse than when we found them. It is a sad situation
I couldn’t agree more Sir !
@@LordDirus007 capitalism caused all this problems ,,people will still.come.to America.
Can you stop using Americans? as if it only means the U.S citizens. That young man is a Mexican American fr the Americas too.
God Bless you Hector! I’m so sorry! If anyone knows of a place to donate, please direct me there. I’d also spread the word 💔
Respect for the cop🫡
💔 he felt alone and lost. Thank goodness for the sheriff. What will happen to him now that he’s back in Mexico?
SO they put him on the news for the narcos to see..yeh yous sure care 🖕
Well this is clearly fake! 😂 obviously!
Will he be safe after being sent back home? Wasn’t that where he was being threatened by the cartel? Poor kid. I sure hope he’s okay now.
This made me cry
It's been days later and I'm still thinking about him.
And I'm not a bleeding heart, but this kid gosh this is terrible.
This really thugs at my heart strings for real, u can tell he is so innocent and scared 😢 hope he has a good life😊
, now , why would they not cloud over his face ?? 🤔
True! They cloud over real criminals!
My heart goes out to him and others that are undergoing similar circumstances.
Poor baby hes just a child God have mercy
Heart wrenching. I'm relieved and overjoyed this distraught young man was one of the lucky ones. Worse than hunger is thirst. How terrified Hector must have felt knowing that he could have easily died a slow death. If Hector continues to struggle, I hope he stays with his family so they can survive by supporting each other. I have immense respect for the sheriff for his compassion.
😢 baby
He doesn't look 18
Ok? What does an 18 year old look like?
He looks older
You've never seen a Hispanic 18 year old huh
@@he.quetzal4 i am hispanic and have been 18 😂
Well, if I was on my last leg and desperate, all while abandoned in a desolate desert, I wouldn't look 18 either. Poor guy. I hope he will be alright back home with his mother.
Damm that breaks my heart
Poor kid. 😢
Why is he dressed in camo like a soldier?
🎯🎯
Because he is one.
Because those are the clothes the smugglers provide in order to blend in with the surroundings.
I'm literally crying right now. Big tears. We Texans must open their homes and take migrants in.
@@sarbantz Then open your house to immigrants. Nobody is stopping you.
We really need to fix our immigration system so people can actually come here legally
@juiceboyjuliothen keep dealing with illegal immigrants then.
@juiceboyjulioyes ❤
You won’t be housing any so why do you care? Mind your business and start working. Mexicans work harder than whites and its a fact ❤️
They can come here legally but the don't want to do that
@@dougtinsley1320 they can’t come here legally because the immigration system doesn’t actually work
Public interest story. How many children are sexually trafficked?
Omg please help him. Someone adopt him. Send him to a good family. Thank you.
Thats scary hes so young
Heartbreaking 💔 🙏
damn seems like a good kid
I hope he is safe
Way to take away from the Hamas guy they caught
God half of the comment section they just believe in politics be grateful that he is alive ❤️
This one broke my heart I don't agree with the ones coming over and taking advantage but this kid broke my heart :(
This hurts my heart.
Hurt my bank account because my tax money gonna be paying for this guy.
@@socaljarhead7670They add thousands of times more money to the tax base than theyll ever take. They contribute more than the average American citizen that makes less than 100 grand a year. The oil fields, agriculture, and construction industries are made up of mostly under the table immigrant labor. They provide the cheap goods and services that allow companies to hire citizens in the first place.
Every grocery store, restaurant, clothing store, auto shop, etc were all built by mexican labor, and supplied by mexicans working the fields or in sweatshops. Where do you think the produce comes from at your local grocery store? Or the gas in your car?
Those places exist and hire tens of millions of citizens solely because they get their cheap goods from immigrant labor. Without there being migrants at the bottom of the supply chain, half the jobs in America are gone in 24 hours. No agriculture, no trucking, no oil, no clothing, no construction.
You pay less in Taxes than they do. Their entire lives are taxed every step of the way. They work for shit pay until they die in this country. All for people to be ignorant to who is responsible for what makes this the best country on earth
Distraction 🤦
So gullible 🤷
They are aware of the consequences, but they continue to put themselves in the situation.
I hope he found his way. Reminds me of a boy his age named Felipe, that came from Puebla and use to work for me years ago. The nicest, hard working and talented people. They just come here to work and send money home. I feel for him and others who are exploited by the coyotes. This is very common for them to leave people stranded in the desert to die.
💔🙏🏽Thank you LEO’s for your service and sacrifice.

@@sarbantz😂
Poor kid 💔
that was a nasty thing to do. they left him alone to die. i am happy that he had the courage to keep trying. i would get crazy there alone with no direction to go i hope he and his family get a good life
I put myself in the shoes of those fleeing their country because to even try and remotely understand their reasons, one can not sit on their sofa and just perpetuate hate. I pray this young man will be safe and that he will find comfort and peace throughout his journey.
Don't be naive as to who's entering this country; and for what reasons.
@dougtinsley1320 Don't be presumptuous of what I know and don't know. If you knew me, you'd realize how much of an ass your comment makes you look like. Wear it proudly, grasshopper.
@dougtinsley1320 Don't be presumptuous, thinking you have a clue that I or anyone else for that matter doesn't know of the good the bad and the ugly going on. Regardless, I always try to understand and put myself in others situation before having an opinion.
I think you should offer to take this guy in and let him live with you.
@@livingit8084 That news segment was nothing more than a Fluff Piece to garner sympathy for CRIMINALS.
The men and women who are working the border would tell you a very different story concerning the camo clad military age men they encounter.
The Good you speak of is; of course; no major problem but if you truly do understand the bad and the ugly then don't soft soap the facts by being an apologist for ILLEGAL ACTS.
Some of us do know what's coming across the border; it's 15 mile's from me; or at least we know who's being caught.
What's getting by undetected? Well I think we'll all find that out soon enough.
Perhaps some sympathy for the American Citizens who've fallen victim to violent illegals might be in order; rather than some idealistic imaginings as to what horrible circumstances these "asylum seekers" are fleeing.
Perhaps the I'll effects of this insanity hasn't reached you yet; but it will; eventually.
This breaks my heart.
I hate to say this but.. i live in Mexico. I have lived in many states down here. That young man needs an escape plan. He still owes about $3,000 USD to some people who kill for nothing.
Everyone has the same story and you people take it hook, line, and sinker. He cries wanting to go back home to mommy and bring her back with all siblings to the US.
Wait?! They sent him back to be killed?
Are we 100% certain that he isn't a SMUGGLER?
Do you think a smuggler would cry like that? Plus he said he wanted to go back home to his mom
@@evansuarez5432 I think they're smart and very deceptive; plus he had 6k to give the coyotes(Read Cartels)and a complete set of Smugglers Camouflage.
In truth it doesn't matter to me; he crossed illegally.
Now he'll be sent back to mommy only to return again in the near future.
@@evansuarez5432 Do you know what "acting" is "woe is me" drama play?
I like to give the kid the benefit of the doubt, but you do never know for sure. I'm against illegal immigration for these types of reasons... we don't know these people, and the cartels especially are really fucking dangerous
The people who applaud undocumented immigration and insist that you open your house up to immigrants are fucking insane. These people can be very dangerous
And so you don’t trust the sheriffs judgment? He seemed to be concerned for him.
Poor boy 😢
No tears? Not even 18.
Nick Shirley has a video called, "How This Country Solved Illegal Immigration | El Salvador," and even though the title is slightly clickbait, El Salvador has put their terrorists and maybe criminals in prison, although some flee to the US, and it is much safer and more peaceful there, so Mexico's government needs to do the same with all the cartels, terrorists, etc., as well as every country, and try and rehabilitate them to whatever degree they can... Though El Salvador has some sort of agreement with China's CCP, which isn't good...No one should be working with the corrupt CCP...
They are sending their criminals to the USA to connect the two dots. Crime rose in El Salvador and here
I’m sorry that’s bull crap that we sent this guy back home to Mexico unless he wanted to go there this is one kid I’m saying one kid that we should have given him everything he needed here in America. I don’t like what’s going on on the border, but this kid deserved everything.
A reminder that this doesn't justify illegal immigration, but actually the opposite. I feel sad for this poor kid, and he needs to be taken back home to his family. But the fact of the matter is that he doesn't belong here, and nor do any other illegals. If they want to be here, they're welcome to come here legally.
The problem here is that the liberals are insisting on letting undocumented foreigners (who don't even speak English) into the USA by letting them cross-over the border illegally. This kid was allowed entry with a cartel (cartels are incredibly dangerous people btw), and they abandoned him in the middle of the desert. The political right-wing had zero to do with this situation.
There are many problems with illegal immigration and this is one of them. I hope he made it home
i’m sorry but this kid was being threatened by a cartel back home. do you know how long the immigration process can take? he set out immediately because he was in immediate danger.
That young man’s photo is heartbreaking. I’m so glad he was found and that the sheriff was kind and understanding. I hope they were able to get him to his hometown & not just across the border where cartels could hurt him.
Which is it? Was he fleeing the cartel or abandoned?
Some people, well people with more than 3 brain cells anyway, might say it´s possible to do BOTH at the same time. I know sounds like a crazy concept for peopel to be running from someone and abandoned by another group. But it´s a constant reality for many migrants. Stop tryna nitpick sherlock, you´re not a 1/3 as smart as you think you are.
Fleeing the cartel in Mexico (why he left), abandoned by the people he paid money to to cross into the US (who abandoned him after crossing). So "both" would be the answer you're struggling to find.
Both
Just a kid😢
More propaganda meant to induce an emotional response. The media is not your friend.
i think he will be in danger if he goes back to mexico
NewNation any update on him
Those cartel dogs just don't leave anyone alone
God please protect him from the damn cartel's
It's a little weird you see no tears 😭 😢
My cousin literally has no tear ducts lol. Not saying that´s the case with this guy, but I actually know someone who can´t cry tears lol
Stranded in a hellhole with no water, he might not even be able to spit the sand out of his mouth.
Hopefully the cartel doesn't go after him 🙏🏻
The saddest part is check out how far away Puebla is from the American border. Very sad. He is a long way home
You know what's even sadder Riley Laken
Thank you Obiden.
Blame it on the smugglers
This insanity has to stop. The criminals are ruling the world and it has to stop. This young man and all children and youth deserve a life with out threats. I'm 71 and my mom used to say ..."never visit adult things on our children". We have failed our kids on a level that I don't understand as this is more than just dangerous. Mercy JESUS. Just saying.
I hear no mention of the cartel to the video
This Is a wrench!
Someone needs to call that sheriff and ask to seach the area. I just know this guy is guilty af.
imagine being lost alone and having the threat of the cartel hanging over you...….poor kid
Older than 18! Stay in Mexico or your country!
Ah so the Sheriff is a liar?
🤥🤥🤥
Nice camo clothes
I don't know. But I thought giving someone money for a service and planes for future business and payments was the exact definition of working with someone ? Am I wrong?
Cartel said... wait a minute. He actually coming back? Here? To see his mama. Not after telling on us 😮
Regardless of political views, my heart breaks for him. People in desperate needs risk every for a shot at life.
It look like is acting,maybe distraction for the group,do not belive this..🤔
what's kind of government mexico had?
❤😢
Seeing Vargas on newsnation is really nice. Good to know she was who she said on msm: an independent mind.
😭
He wasn't dirty dusty or dehydrated. Weird. Worst sheriff has ever seen ?? Some die. Heck , theres homeless at the brink of death all over the city.... That are legal citizens....
😭😭
The smugglers probably abandoned him because he was crying like that in the first place.
I have quite a few questions. If so horrible down there, then why does this young military aged man with really nice teeth, new camo, and a backpack look as if he just landed and was picked up at the airport? Interesting
cartel/coyotes will provide the clothing to those they are smuggling
Something does not add up. Just saying…
The Indianapolis colts should hire him ...nice hoodie 😎
He's running from the Cartel....yet you show his face on the news...........
Awe, poor Hector…
Send him back
Come LEGALLY go to legal points of entry. problem solved.
Not an option for many people.
@@thebestfrom361 it is always an option. They just have to wait like all the legal immigrants did. Dunce
I´m sure that even if I explained why its not an option for some, you wouldn´t understand it anyway. @@Nocomment463
@Nocomment463 an option? And how long will it take? Months or years? Some people need to leave NOW. And he was one of them. Also. Discrimination in the port of entries is REAL, whether it be age or language Discrimination, it's all real and happens. It isn't as easy as you think.
@@he.quetzal4 why must they leave NOW? If nothing is drastically changing and they have survived their whole lives there. They are not in fear for their lives. They want better life which isn’t asylum worthy.
Yall people saying that it’s “fake” or “staged” and other bull shit don’t know what immigrants suffer getting here to the US having to leave there family behind not knowing if they are going to see them again for a better life for themselves and their family back home. We don’t know what they have been going through and you guys talking mad shit about immigrants keep in mind that they have been more successful in life than you and they have every right to be here no matter if they came here illegally or legally because there are still humans who are fighting for their rights.
Cry me a river….
Fix your own damn country first or come LEGALLY !
What part of no one is forcing them to come here don’t you understand?
it is a sad situation but coming to our country is a mistake
Clearly, but some people don´t know unless they try.
If you get caught hide the dope and pretend to be a hostage
