Forty-six people were found dead and 16 others were taken to hospitals Monday after a tractor-trailer containing suspected migrants was found abandoned in a remote area of San Antonio, officials said, the latest tragedy claiming the lives of people attempting to cross the U.S. border from Mexico in recent decades.

 

According to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, a city worker heard a cry for help from the truck shortly before 6 p.m. Monday and discovered the gruesome scene. Hours later, body bags lay spread on the ground near the trailer as a grim symbol of the calamity.

 

16 people found inside the truck are being treated at a hospital, Fire Department Chief Charles Hood said, including 12 adults and four children, who he referred to as teenagers and young adults. None of those who died were children, Hood said.

There are huge numbers of people around the world, but particularly in Central America, that want to come to the US both for work and for their personal safety.

 

There are a huge number of employers in the US eager to hire these people.

 

No amount of walls and borders guards will solve this supply and demand driven problem.  However by demonizing the immigrants, but not their employers, Republicans have made the problem so toxic that nobody dares suggest a sensible solution.

Cartels are making big money at the expense of it's people. Surely the people responsible can be hunted down.
