The U.S. Border Patrol said that it rescued an unaccompanied 8-year-old child along the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, according to a news release on Tuesday.

The boy, according to agents from the Weslaco station, cannot “communicate with agents because he only speaks dialect.” He was smuggled across the Rio Grande and was abandoned on a road near the river.
