“It’s sad. I mean, your head goes through all the scenarios that might have happened. We don’t know if they’re safe or if they’re missing. So, yeah. Lots goes through when you see something like this.” “So we’re going to get this convoy with all the excavators.” “OK.” “And a bunch of D.P.S. and everything.” “Oh I see, I see.” “We’re going to go right down the middle of the lane to go to it.” “Perfect — OK, yeah sure. Lead the way and we’ll follow. It’s a total devastation. Lots of debris, lots of trash. It’s unrecognizable. The scale of this is way, way bigger than anything we’ve seen.” “We work a lot with C.B.P., the Border Patrol. We have a lot of people trying to cross, and they lose their lives trying to look for the American dream, right? And they drown. So we have a lot of search-and-rescue experience because of that.” “We can see some debris — T-shirts from camps. So right now we’re in the recovery mode.” “Here in the States, like everybody was like, ‘Hey, the Mexicans are here.’ There’s no race, there’s no flags, there’s nothing. It’s just help, and we need those families, you know, come back together and recover their family members so they can close the circle.”
