Cuban immigrant in Houston says he knows firsthand the desperation to cross border KTRK A new video released by U.S. Border Patrol showed children being tossed over the border wall. It shows the first child taking a hard fall. Then, the second one is tossed and soon after, the smugglers take off running. Thankfully, border patrol was able to rescue these children. "I felt the desperation of the Mexican people and those from Latin America," Alejandro Estrada said. Estrada is a Cuban immigrant who arrived in Houston this month. He said he felt the desperation from the people waiting and wanting to cross the border.
