BROWNSVILLE — U.S. Border Patrol agents rescued two unauthorized immigrants from Guatemala who had been bitten by a rattlesnake on a ranch near Kingsville, Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday.

The agents came across the men early Tuesday morning and took them to the emergency room at Christus Spohn Hospital Kleberg in Kingsville.

Since the fiscal year began in October, Rio Grande Valley sector agents have rescued nearly 200 people and found the remains of 64. Rescues often escalate in the summer, when agents come across or are called by unauthorized immigrants suffering from heat exhaustion.

Why did they do something so stupid? The rattlesnakes were defending our borders. let the invaders die and feed the buzzards.

Hmm...unauthorized immigrants. Much better than the last attempt: “irregular migrants.”

Maybe I am slow on the up take but was that a new term: Unauthorized Immigrants.

Someone just needs to tell them they are simple run of the mill illegals.

I notice Harbor Freight is selling a nice backhoe type digger that can be towed behind a pick-up and runs the hydraulics off of a Briggs and Stratton hand crank engine ... just saying, why feed the buzzards that will call attention to the charnal.

MAke that ‘charnel’ ... even buzzards make fewer typos than I do.

It’s 108 degrees in central TX—no sign of rain anywhere near here.

I shudder to think what the conditions are in the Rio Grande Valley.

I almost pity these folks.

Hmmmmmmmmm.

The Rattlesnake was a symbol of the American revolution, turning up on American battle flags.

“Don’t tread on me!”

Hmmmmmmmmm.

How long before the ranch owner is sued for having rattlesnakes on his property?

Also, how did two people get bitten by the same snake?

It is hard to understand why anyone would set out across there this time of year.
