Is the hitch on the trailer still operational?

Look for libs to fully roll out slimy back alley trailer truck driver angle & how illegals—since they are “going to come here, anyway”—have to “resort” to coyotaje ops...a camion de granado & his oxidado (rusty) truck el hangar.

they found eight people dead and 30 suffering from various injuries

What's this? Are these heat "injuries" or were these people beaten or what?

Hmmm...maybe if they hadn’t gotten into that trailer truck in the first place??? Maybe if they hadn’t entered the USA illegally? Maybe if they stayed in their lousy corrupt country band did something to change it? Stop spending taxpayer money “treating” them. Deport them today. They are all criminals.

At the end of the article it states that after treatment the people will be turned over to Immigration.

Heat related..........
Apparently this was a drop point as surveillance video shows
other vehicles arriving and picking up people.

Smuggling illegals...the Coyotes should buy a Used Greyhound bus for illegals. They need to be comfortable on the drive to the USA...

I’d like to know more about the driver and the trucking company. White?, Mexican-American? Mexican? Where did the trucker pick up the 50 illegals?

You are absolutely right! This was a truckload of criminals coming into our country to leech off of the taxpaying citizens. Yes! They are CRIMINALS! You break the law...you are a criminal.

Coyotes don't agree to get the illegals to their destination alive.

What is having to spend 12 hours in 180 degree heat when the Coyotes enjoy air conditioning...

The people who survived will be given treatment at hospitals.

Then INS has enough manpower these days to process them back to their native countries.

It is a sad story, but it was the Coyotes' fault they were 'roasted' in a trailer.

The Trump ICE/INS has the resources and time to find smuggling points such as this.

Maybe they should put out something that the Coyotes involved tried to kill police officers and should be shot on sight. Of course, putting them in back of a tractor-trailer for 3 or 4 days at this time of year would be another form of justice. Just leave them lots of water...

Guess again, there will be the cost of an investigation, the cost of autopsies, the cost of DNA identification, the cost of finding the relatives, the cost of shipping them back, etc. And we do all of these things. They aren’t going to dig a hole next to the Wal Mart parking lot and pitch them in, which would cost labor and shovels.

The truck and driver crossed the border somewhere, the bribe to the border agents had to be in the thousands of dollars. Trucks coming in from Mexico that aren’t searched always involve money changing hands.

You can be against illegal immigration and still recoil in horror at the circumstances these people experienced. It would be hard to imagine a worse death and the survivors will likely be permanently affected physically and mentally.

It is probable that they did not cross the border in the truck. Coyotes usually bring them over the border and then warehouse them at a drop point before they begin the rest of the trip to wherever they are going.

I don’t blame them for wanting to come here. I blame the politicians who ignore and even encourage the problem, the states that offer them benefits and don’t enforce the law, and MOST OF ALL the employers who not only give them work, but ask the coyotes for more of them.

Our border issue with Central America is a multi-faceted problem. It needs to be aggressively addressed at every level. However, all of us are right to feel sick about what these poor souls endured. It does not mean we are pro-immigration. It means we are compassionate human beings.

Coyotes need to be shot on sight.

With the brutal heat and humidity in Texas, they must have smelled that all the way to Dallas.
