According to Reuters, officials from the United States (hereinafter referred to as "Dezhou") in the United States said that the authorities found 46 immigrant bodies in a truck next to a truck in a remote area on the southern suburbs of the city on Monday, local time. This is also beautiful. One of the most fatal population smuggling cases recently occurred in the ink border.

"Daily Economic News" reporter noticed that this is not the first such incident that has happened in recent years. At least three similar incidents occurred in the state last year, causing nearly 80 people to die.

Due to borders with Mexico, Dezhou has become a "portal" for many Mexican and Chinese American countries to enter the United States. According to the federal immigration data obtained earlier this month, the number of illegal immigrants crossing the US -Mexico border this year has reached a record high. In May of this year, nearly 240,000 illegal immigrants were intercepted by the US Customs and Border Protection Agency.

Tragedy at near 40 degrees at high temperature

San Antonio Police Director William McManus said that a worker at the construction site near the incident at the scene of the incident arrived at the scene after hearing a call for help. Look, the corpse was discovered.

An official of the San Antonio Fire Department said they (in the truck) found "piles of corpses" and there were no signs of water in the truck. The department said that there were other 16 people in the truck and were taken to the hospital for heat stroke and fatigue, including 4 minors.

At a press conference, Charles Hood, Captain Charles Hood, said, "The victims are hot, they have heat stroke and exhausted. This is a cold chain truck, but the refrigeration system in the car is not working at work ","

The city of San Antonio is about 160 miles (about 250 kilometers) from the US -Mexico border. On Monday, the humidity was very high, and the temperature soared to 103 (about 39.4 degrees Celsius). The National Meteorological Administration and Meteorologist said that in June 2022, it has become the hottest June since San Antonio.

According to data since the National Meteorological Administration of Meteorological, the number of days with an average temperature of more than 100 (about 37.8 degrees Celsius) per year is only 9 days each year. The average temperature reaches 100th degree or higher.

The local media in Dezhou quoted an official saying that because some deceased was discovered near several neighborhoods from the incident, it seemed that some people had tried to jump out of the truck. The official said that law enforcement officers found that many of the trucks were sprinkled with steak seasoning, perhaps to cover up some odors.

A spokesman for the US Immigration and Customs Law Enforcement Agency (ICE) said the bureau's land security investigation department is cooperating with local police to investigate "suspected incidents of smuggling." McManas said that this was the largest number of deaths in similar incidents in San Antonio, and said that three people had been arrested after the incident, but it was unclear whether the three were involved in the incident.

After the incident, Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said in Twitter that the incident was "a tragedy in Texas" and said that the Consulate in the United States in the United States would go to the hospital where the victim was sent to the hospital. Do your best to help.

Dezhou frequent population smuggling incident

Former senior official Jack Staton, a retired ICE investigation department at the end of last year, said that the I-35 highway found by the truck was connected to the US-Mexico border and San Antonio. Due to the huge traffic of the highway truck, the illegal is illegal. The molecules are often smuggled by this road.

"Daily Economic News" reporter noticed that similar smuggling incidents have occurred more than once. In July 2017, the San Antonio police found a traction trailer in a Wal -Mart parking lot in the city. Ten immigrants on the trailer were sent to the hospital and died. In 2018, the truck driver involved was sentenced to life imprisonment for participating in smuggling.

Staron said that since 2017, the region often intercept immigrants entering from the US -Mexico border. He believes that there is only a matter of time in tragedy like this.

Throughout the states, there were many immigration deaths last year.

In 20211, a truck with 200 immigrants hit a crowded bridge in Mexico and turned over, causing 55 people to die. In April 2021, a truck with 29 immigrants had a car accident on a remote highway in Texas, causing 10 people to die. In March 2021, a 25 -person SUV was hit by a semi -trailer in the eastern part of San Diego, causing 13 immigrants to die.

After the tragedy of Monday this Monday, Greg Abbott, Governor of Dezhou, blamed the President Biden in a tweet of the incident, saying that "this is the result of his fatal border open policy" Essence

In fact, Abobot's $ 3 billion U.S. -Mexico border control plan has also been criticized for not achieving the expected results. In addition, he himself was fiercely criticized because he complained that those unlicensed immigrants had increased burden on the state education system.

The number of illegal immigrants in the US -Mexico border is innovative

"Daily Economic News" reporter noticed that from the recent immigration death case in San Antonio, it can be seen that behind it is the "industrial chain" hidden in American trucks. Due to borders with Mexico, Dezhou has become a "portal" for many Mexican and Chinese American countries to enter the United States. These people took a train, car, or bus long journey to the border of the United States and Mexico, and then spent heavy money, walking in danger of life, or crossing the river by raft into the United States.

However, most of them do not just want to stay in the border area, but want to go to New York and Chicago. At this time, trucks played a great role, which also gave the population traffic organization to earn more opportunities for "black gold". The more people are transported, the more money they earn. In order to maximize the benefits and let more than 100 people squeeze into a truck, it is a common thing for trafficking organizations. In their eyes, the smugglers are just "commodities", people's safety and death, they don't care.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the worst vehicle smuggling and death in the history of the United States also occurred in Texas. In 2003, at that time, Victoria, Dezhou, was at a high temperature. More than 100 unlicensed immigrants were loaded into a truck. Since the driver did not turn on the refrigeration system, the temperature in the car rose to 173 (about 78.3 degrees Celsius. ) In the end, 19 people were killed, the oldest 91 years old, the youngest only 7 years old.

According to the federal immigration data obtained earlier this month, the number of illegal immigrants through the US -Mexico border this year has reached a record high. It is reported that in May of this year, nearly 240,000 unconfined immigrants were intercepted by the US Customs and Border Protection Agency. Among them, the number of illegal immigrants who tried to cross the US -Mexico border was 15,7555, an increase of 2%compared to April, and the monthly history was renewed. These immigrants include Mexico, Russia, Haiti, Cuba, Turkey, India and Nicaragua.

The continuous rise in the number of illegal immigrants means that the United States is facing severe challenges in controlling US -Mexico -migration immigrants.

In addition to cracking down on the most direct parts of the "industrial chain" of the "industrial chain" of the crowding organization and employers who hire illegal immigrants, analysis also pointed out that the United States also needs to establish a safe, orderly and formal immigration system.
