Mexican Cartel Leaves 55 Children, 48 Adult Migrants to Die in Tractor-Trailer

    Mexican immigration authorities rescued over 100 Central American migrants who were left to die in a truck trailer. The 55 children and 48 adults were left without food or water for two days, according to reports. Immigration agents also found 88 additional migrants packed into a bus with a seating capacity of only 42.

    Immigration authorities in Mexico said they found 103 migrants “packed into a truck in the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz,” the Associated Press reported. Officials said the 55 minors and 48 adults were left without food or water for two days. It is also likely there were no bathroom facilities for the migrants to use while trapped inside the refrigerated trailer. The immigration officials made the discovery in the Gulf state of Veracruz.

IF there was a large physical wall running across most of the border, making illegal entry difficult or impossible in most locations...

... then we would no longer find truckloads and busloads of "border-jumpin' hopefuls" like these.

They would know before they started that the journey would have little chance of success.
