BROOKS COUNTY, Texas— On a recent trip to the southern border, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. was on an evening tour with Brooks County, Texas Sheriffs when he had to provide medical assistance to a migrant suffering from heat exhaustion, according to a statement from Marshall's office.
FOX News covered the story saying in part, “Marshall, a physician, was on a trip to the border in Texas, along with sheriffs from Kansas and was riding along an area between where smugglers drop off illegal migrants, and where they are picked up by others. It’s a hazardous area with treacherous conditions for migrants who have often traveled thousands of miles."
"Agents spotted a human smuggler pull up to an area, bring four or five people into the car – as well as one in the trunk. Agents gave chase until the car pulled over and the inhabitants fled."
"Agents caught many of those fleeing, including one woman who Marshall said was showing severe symptoms of heat exhaustion that had the potential to turn deadly. It was then that he stepped into action."
"Marshall put the blame squarely on the policies of President Biden and said the agents had told him that what they need is to get back to the policies of the Trump era, including finishing construction of the border wall.”
