blank stare and i asked what are you thinking about. and they said it is just really hard not to take home the emotional baggage from what you see inside and what you hear as well. in fact the agent telling me earlier this week that they overheard a supervisor talking about that image that everyone saw of the central american family and his daughter, the 2-year-old girl drowning after they tried to cross the rio gran grande. and the supervisory joked about dead migrants. but that is not all. he was making fun of them. saying what? that it is just another life. he made a comment also regarding runningoff illegals. and i m like you cannot run over people. reporter: the agent saying being derogatory is part of border patrol culture. these are very serious allegations, allegations that we took to customs and border protection. while they did not directly

that means on the ground. reporter: what we witnessed and what you re about to see was chaotic, depressing, emotional, and sad. we spent part of the afternoon with agents from u.s. border patrol in a van with them as they patrolled the border near el paso, texas. and what we saw in a 60-minute span was them apprehend eight different family units. 25 people. most of them children. every five or ten minutes people were coming out of the rio gran grande. the first person we saw was juana. she was emaciated, 25 years old, with a 6-year-old son and a 9-month-old baby on her back. they were all hungry. they were all thirsty. and they were all sick. she said she was very poor and she had to come from guatemala because she had no money left and no maenz. she said she had heard in her town people got to the united states as long as they brought children with them. she was apprehended. we also met sandy flond raz. she didn t come with any children. she s about to have a child. she s 8 1/2 mont

gran grande, it s so quiet out here, you can hear the wind flutter past the coasting birds. every night, 88-year-old pamela taylor out of compassion leaves bottled water outside her home for migrants moving north and the border patrol aegents chasig them. she s lived a stone s throw from the border since 1936. when the fence was built north of the river, she found herself on the south side between the wall and mexico. you are a little bit of no man s land. we live in a gated community. i mean, you have to laugh about it. taylor voted for trump and wants to see illegal immigration controlled. she once found an undocumented migrant hiding from border patrol agents in her living room. but she warns the rest of the country that a wall won t work. that wall is not going to
