A van carrying 20 people overturned Sunday morning on Interstate 70 near Columbia, Mo., killing five and seriously injuring 11, the Missouri Highway Patrol said.
snip...
The Highway Patrol was having trouble identifying the dead Sunday night because few carried identification. Six on board who carried identification were from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala or Long Beach, Calif. The patrol was asking for the public's help in identifying the occupants. Anyone with information is asked to call 573-751-1000.
snip...
The van, a 2001 Chevrolet, had California plates, but the plates were not registered. Federal immigration officials are assisting the Highway Patrol's investigation.

Remember the old days when we used to make jokes about the driving habits of LEGAL Asian tourists?
Here we have 20 illegals.
'the plates were not registered.'
therefore, no insurance.
I am sure the driver had a driver's license, tho, from California.../s
Just gimme 5 bucks for every illegal I can point at, and I'll quit my day job.

They need to finish that superhighway through Texas, so they won't have such a long trip to Missouri.

Send them to the hospital, let them get better, let them name their home country, then: NEXT FLIGHT OUT!

I thought that's why Mexico had Consulates in every major American city...

Why do we hear of these packed vehicles in places like Missouri? If I was an illegal alien, I'd want to get the heck away from any other aliens I'd crossed with, aside from family. Once I got to a decent sized city in TX, AZ, NM or CA, I'd disappear.

Because you assume that they are actually afraid of getting caught and deported. It seems that assumption is incorrect.

With the predicted temps in Phoenix today expected around 111 deg, we can tune in for reports of just how many of these "sardine vehicles" that are left along I-10 make it that far.
Tis the season...summertime in AZ, like clock work:
Neglected toddlers and babies drowning in pools...
Multiple illegal aliens squished into a van, left dying on the side of the road...

What have we come to, where parents leave kids locked in their cars?
I understand the profit motive for the slave-traders, and that they couldn't care less about their loads.
But parents? Breaks my heart...

But parents? Breaks my heart... I've heard at least three excuses:
"I forgot"
"I was only going to be a minute"
"I thought one of the other kids brought him/her in." (from Mesa).

I think you are confusing sires & dams with parents.
