SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Forty-six people were found dead after being abandoned in a tractor-trailer in the sweltering Texas heat in the latest tragedy to claim the lives of migrants smuggled across the border from Mexico to the U.S. Sixteen people were hospitalized, including four children.
A city worker heard a cry for help from the truck on a lonely San Antonio back road shortly before 6 p.m. Monday and discovered the gruesome scene, Police Chief William McManus said. Hours later, body bags lay spread on the ground near the trailer and bodies remained inside as authorities responded to the calamity.

I am thinking this was something to do with the illegal sex trade and human trafficking in general. I bet someone took a good payout and just left them to die in the heat. This is why, if you want to live in the US, you do it legally. It sucks, I know but you can't come here and expect us to just flip the bill. People over here are already struggling. I feel like illegal immigration is part of the reason blacks in America are still in the same position and the government has yet to give us any sort of operations. They too busy giving it to the illegals!
