    Roughly 40 undocumented migrants were found dead and over a dozen hospitalized in a tractor trailer in San Antonio.

    The official says 15 others in the truck were taken to hospitals in the San Antonio area, where the bodies were found.

    An 18-wheeler contained the migrants inside, Fox San Antonio reported. The discovery is part of what is believed to be a human smuggling operation.

    Authorities have not confirmed the number of dead but Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Republican who represents Texas, tweeted that 42 people died.

    The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the information had not been authorized for public release.

    This is so sad, if we didn't create the "FAKE IMMIGRATION" crisis these people might have been able to get here legally.

    Horrible. Didn't something like this happen a in Houston a few years ago? Also last winter there was a case of an Indian family found frozen after they had been abandoned on the Canadian border.

    As long as there is a disconnect in supply and demand in immigration there always will be smuggling and the our current immigration laws just leads to both more waste on gestures that do little like border walls while encouraging a black market. We should be having more legal immigration to match the demand from both people coming to this country and the business community that is eager to hire these people.

    The "drop dead" easy solution to illegal immigration is to make using illegal workers uneconomic. Have fines that business can not risk or they would go under.

    And Abbott is somehow blaming Biden's "open border" policy.

    I hate to defend @tinman but I'm guessing he's liking the post because he appreciated the story being shared, not liking that 40 people died.

    Absolutely horrific.

    These people just want better lives.

    And they would work cheap to boot.

    Sure that could be one solution it also likely will lead to even much higher inflation and shortages than we see now.

    No kidding. Sucks that it took you this long to figure out what we've known in Texas for several many decades.

    The worst policy for the dangers of illegal immigration is the one where its possible but difficult. If it's near impossible, they won't come, if its easy, then they won't get shoved in a truck.
