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.

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.
Breaking news, Biden has ordered flags to be flown at half mast. There will be 53 fewer votes for him in 2024.
at least texas without democrat interference might execute this POS even if biden and his cartels are never held accountable
the democrat las vegas shooter murdered 60, now another democrat mass murder of innocents
effing joe biden and his cartels he promotes murdered those people
"One count of human smuggling resulting in death"……how about 50 counts 🤔
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
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.
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.
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!
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…
Let's keep our borders safe!!!
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!
Those drivers should at least know how to turn on the reefer, passing the check point . Ps so the 🐶 don’t smell nothing.
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……..disturbing revelations about accused driver of Texas migrant truck.he was high on drugshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHlnjLXCZXc
Border corruption- never check the truck
Pongan mas atencion en la frontera muchas drogas y criminales se estan metiendo a usa
Death Penalty? Texas! Here in Los Angeles, the DA Gascon will probably recommend 2 weeks of Community Service as the Driver is the true victim in this situation!
In Mexico there was more then one truck abandon with people dead in peñanieto👀😳😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭👍🎤🎙️ administration look at the news in you tube truck con jente en Guadalajara trucker don't do those things to people with no air they would surely die repent don't still those people life and money the high way police in all USA should randomly open red trucks or black and any other truks to see if they are not transporting people inside they do that a lot they say in Chiapas border is not the Texas governor fault or Trump stop lying this problem is benn forever look at la vestia train vice news
Smuggled in a truck in the hot sun
They fought the law and'a the law won
I'm starting to think Laws are there To protect People From these types of tragedies….
Who knew!?!?
Blame this on President Biden for opening the borders!!!! i feel bad for thses people, however they are breaking our law by entering illegally, PERIOD!!!!!!!
Thank you Joe.
Ha Ha!Shouldn't have tried to come here illegally.
Maybe if they put all that money and effort into their own community's and country they would not have to be criminals.
Oh well guess they should had stayed home or did it the legal way.
U.S. border policy dysfunction. American politicians are near worthless. Re: Public Library info. The people at the southern border are usually Amerindians whose ancestry can be traced to 'pre Columbus'. In south American countries, the Spanish have ruled with an iron hand for the last 500 years. Their ancestry can be traced to the Spanish invasion in the 1500s. The many dictators that the U.S. has supported/installed in the countries below the border are also of Spanish ancestry. P.S This historical info is completely absent in history books in the American school system.
Blood on Biden’s hands.
Joe Biden's Fault
Death sentence for him
Our border Czar said it's Abotts fault not the drivers or coyotes. Who knows better than her? She almost went to the border once.
The imposter is doing a fabulous job killing migrants.
Illegals
I was told this is how drug cartels smuggle people in and demand payment. Our open border makes these tragedies possible! Most don't make national news! Mayorkas should be fired and brought up on charges! Biden and Harris should be impeached!
Thank goodness Texas has the death penality.
How's that wall workin' for ya donnie? LOL
I just don't care. That's 53 less freeloaders in the US that I have to pay for. They did this to themselves. #suckstobeyou
Impeach Biden , Kamala hahaharris and Mayorkas !
Bye-Den did this 👏
useless Abbott, useless wall
Where is the outrage at this Biden regime?
Where are all the celebrities like Matthew McConaughey and J Lo, demanding we have a safe border for both Americans and Migrants?
How many immigrants does it take to fill the back of a semi?
Sad Biden or Harris still haven't been to the border
Let’s go border czar, Spread Eagle🖕🏾
Has Biden been charged yet?
Our US president hasn’t said any thing about this or even try to Secure our borders for things like this not to happen
Hard to feel bad for criminals
Shameful what liberal media fixates on while tragedies like this happen
