53 migrants are now dead following the discovery of an abandoned tractor-trailer on the edge of San Antonio, Texas. The migrants were trapped in the semi-truck in the Texas heat, causing what officials call the deadliest case of human smuggling in U.S. history. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is promising new security steps at the border including additional truck checkpoints. NBC News’ Morgan Chesky reports on the new timeline of the tragedy.

Border corruption- never check the truck
disturbing revelations about accused driver of Texas migrant truck.he was high on drugshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHlnjLXCZXc
A bit more investigation is required. We lived in countries with power cut on top floor of an apt. building with 40 degree Celsius being normal – thas app. 104 degree fereheight—— no one dies of heat stroke in 12 hours as night get cold again in a 24 hr cycle—— so 24 hours and dying of a heat stroke…needs investigation— always better than my speculation-
—-or it was the" glass house effect"-we grew up in 3rd world countries as a kid on top floor with power cut for more than 24 hours- @ 40 degree Celsius……..Those drivers should at least know how to turn on the reefer, passing the check point . Ps so the 🐶 don’t smell nothing.
can anyone answer did no one had a phone to call the drive requesting a stop to drink water break????– why would someone take so much risk if already inside the border—Its not UK where cops check work permit at every check point—they could have walked…….it isn't adding up!
Let's keep our borders safe!!!
Something is not right here .today questions to list .if it smells like fish ?????? Don't believe what they tell you question everything…..open your eyes…
Thanks to Democrats! Now that Title 42 can be lifted we will see 5-8 million poor, uneducated migrants flooding our borders each year sucking up taxpayer dollars! A vote for blue is a vote for open borders!
I had to search for this. If there was a white man or gun involved, we’d have 6 million views, half of Hollywood and the media scared and crying for change and blaming Trump.
If US government welcomes all the migrants to come to US freely, why all the Americans need to pay the federal tax? All the Americans should enjoy zero tax like the illegal migrants.
ok how about a phone. 1 phone amongst 50 people shared???? USMOBILE charges $20 pm unlimited——so 20/50 = 40 cents per head! to call 911
"One count of human smuggling resulting in death"……how about 50 counts 🤔
effing joe biden and his cartels he promotes murdered those people
the democrat las vegas shooter murdered 60, now another democrat mass murder of innocents
at least texas without democrat interference might execute this POS even if biden and his cartels are never held accountable
Breaking news, Biden has ordered flags to be flown at half mast. There will be 53 fewer votes for him in 2024.
This is what lax border security and internal security leads to all these deaths are on Biden and the democrats, if you had proper border checks and security and made sure to hunt the illegals inside the country punish the employers that hire illegals etc. These 53 people might be alive today, they were murdered by Democrats.
Democrats: you built that
What a horrible story. How evil to allow this people to suffocate and die from the heat . I can't imagine how horrible it must of been. To the survivors I wish them strength to overcome this most terrifying experience.
i have been waiting to see kamel harris shows up. nope.
Its sad that many immigrants are brainwashed into believing the US to be a land of milk & honey. Ironically the two Honduran brothers wanted work to build their mother a home while many here are homeless. Soo disturbing!
Even god doesn't want them here lol.
Wow. A 2 minute clip on 53 murders that happened in our country. What a disgrace.
If it were 53 Americans that were murdered, citizens with no criminal histories and lots of powerful wealthy families, this story would be 100 times bigger.
Words are that they will grant legal rights for the 11 illegal migrants. This is the exact nonsense that is driving these illegal activities. They are leading folks to believe they can legally stay once they get across the border regardless whether they came in legally or illegally. Shameful insults to American citizens
I seen this on this Mexican news and sad they die for a better life 💔
