Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Smugglers throw 6-month-old girl into river near US-Mexico border, Texas officials say

Mr. President, as long as the border exists, it'll be a deadly hazard!

A 6-month-old girl dumped in the Rio Grande River earlier this month was rescued at the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, officials say.

The rescue happened March 16 in Roma, a south Texas town about 105 miles from Monterrey, Mexico.

The Texas Department of Public Safety said the infant's mother suffered a broken leg when she was assaulted by smugglers in Mexico.

Smugglers then threw the girl out of a raft and into the river, the department said.

The woman paid smugglers $3,500 to cross the border, said Department of Public Safety Lt. Christopher Olivarez, KVEO reported. She and her baby were reportedly among 68 adults and 151 children crossing the river.

She has been reunited with her daughter in U.S. Border Patrol custody, Olivarez told the outlet.
