The 18-month-old clung to her mother as she swept her tongue along the cracks of her tiny parched lips. Both were dehydrated; they had been hiding in the brush across the Rio Grande in 102-degree temperatures. They had waited with about two dozen others, all from Central America, until the coolness of dusk to cross the river into the United States.
