Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick railed against sanctuary cities on Sunday after at authorities in his state discovered eight people dead inside a sweltering tractor-trailer in a San Antonio Walmart parking lot and about 17 others in critical condition. Two additional victims later died at the hospital, bringing the death toll to 10.

Patrick, a Republican, posted on Facebook that the ‘tragedy’ is why he pushed a bill to ban sanctuary cities.

I'm on Mr. Patrick's side, but what he suggests is a general incentive to crime, and not "the blame" for this specific act.

Blame who -is- to blame:
1. The smugglers who herded them into the semi-trailer and then closed and locked the doors, and
2. The driver, if he knew what really was "back there".

Can't have one without the other.
