Blazing heat, no air conditioning or water: dozens of people hoping for a better life in the United States met a horrible death in a trailer just a few kilometers from the border.
The death toll has risen to 53 after a parked truck trailer with migrants trapped inside was found in Texas. This was announced by the governor of the US state, Greg Abbott.
The Republican spoke of the “deadliest case of migrant smuggling on American soil”. Abbott blamed Democratic President Joe Biden for it. Biden must make it clear that nobody can enter the country illegally, so that migrants do not even set off. In addition, the US border protection agency must be properly equipped.
According to police, a worker discovered the bodies in the truck on Monday evening (local time) on the outskirts of the Texas city of San Antonio after hearing a call for help from the trailer. At least 16 survivors were taken to a hospital, dehydrated and exhausted from the heat. According to the fire brigade, there was apparently neither a working air conditioning system nor water in the trailer, which was in the blistering heat. The victims were allegedly smuggled to the United States. San Antonio is only 250 kilometers from the Mexican border.
According to Mexican authorities, the truck passed two checkpoints run by the US border protection agency CBP on Monday. Abbott said the truck wasn’t inspected because there weren’t enough resources to inspect all trucks. Biden must change that.
