'This needs to stop now': Texas farmer, 75, finds five abandoned migrant girls - including a baby - under the age of 7 crying and hungry on his land - and warns thousands will die this summer in sweltering heat while Biden ignores the border crisis

• Farmer Jimmy Hobbs, 75, says he found the five little girls on Sunday at 8.30am while doing a round of his land in Quemado, Texas
• The girls were all hungry and crying; one was naked and crawling because she is too young to walk
• Three were from Honduras - they are seven, three and two
• Two are from Guatemala and are aged five-years-old, and 11-months-old
• The farmer said he gave them food, water and shade until CBP arrived 3 hours later
• He said the current border crisis is the worst he's seen in the 75 years he has lived on the farm
• It's unclear what will now happen to the girls - Customs Border Patrol hasn't indicated where they are, or if they can stay in the US
• Hobbs and his wife Katie begged Biden to tighten the rules or come to the border to see the crisis for himself
• They said that as summer approaches, many will die trying to get into the country in sweltering heat
• The number of migrant children being held in CBP detention centers has doubled over the last month - there are now more than 21,000 ''

I am SO CONCERNED about this situation- from every single angle.

These traffickers are so heartless. It is one thing to smuggle and desert adults but to do this to little kids is just unfathomable. Now they'll have to do DNA testing to figure out who these little girls belong to.

I did see a headline but didn't read the article where some smugglers were apprehended by Mexican authorities today.

Five small children found abandoned at US-Mexico border
''CNN quoted Guatemala's Foreign Ministry as saying that the smugglers abandoned the girls near the Rio Grande.''

"Unfortunately, this happens far too often now. If not for our community and law-enforcement partners, these little girls could have faced the more than 100-degree temperatures with no help."

''CNN said upon questioning, the 5-year-old girl looked among their belongings and found a phone number of a family member that was supposed to receive them in the US.

The broadcaster added that the baby had a phone number written down with a marker on her diaper and CBP officials were able to reach a family member to confirm their nationality.

ABC News reported that the children did not require medical attention and were transported to the Uvalde Station for processing. They were later taken to the Department of Health and Human Services on Tuesday''.
