Three hundred U.S.-bound Central Americans migrants, including dozens of children, were found over the weekend inside two trucks in Mexico without proper ventilation or enough food or water.
Mexico’s National Institute of Migration, known as INM, informed that 198 migrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were found Saturday morning inside a truck as they were being transported in the state of Tamaulipas, border with Texas.
“They were traveling in overcrowding conditions,” said the INM.
Three people were arrested suspected of human trafficking.
On Friday, officials found another truck with 102 Central Americas with signs of dehydration and asphyxia.
On Monday, President Donald Trump renewed his calls for his promised wall with Mexico, saying on Twitter “Any deal on DACA that does not include STRONG border security and the desperately needed WALL is a total waste of time.”
Congress has until March 5th to reach an agreement on the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which protects thousands of young people who were brought to the U.S. when they were minors by their undocumented parents.
Sens. John McCain, a Republican, and Christopher A. Coons, a Democrat, introduced a bill Monday that would grant permanent legal status to the so-called Dreamers as well as tighten security along the U.S.-Mexican border. The proposal, however, doesn’t include changes to what Trump calls “chain migration,” the ability of greencard-holders and naturalized immigrants to legally bring relatives to the U.S. The plan doesn’t put an end to the diversity lottery program either, something Trump has been strongly requesting in exchange for any DACA deal.
On his Twitter account, McCain referred to the bill as a potential “important starting point towards reaching a bipartisan immigration compromise so we can end the gridlock” and move on to completing a budget agreement.
Immigration reform talks in Congress hit a low point last month when at a closed-door meeting Trump reportedly complaint about the arrival of Haitians and immigrants from African nations, referring to them as “shithole countries,” according to sources present at that meeting.
Thousands of Honduran and Salvadorian immigrants currently live and work legally in the U.S. under a Temporary Protected Status, but that designation is set to expire next year in the case of Salvadorians, while a decision on Hondurans is still pending.
The Department of Homeland Security determined in January that El Salvador no longer meets a TPS designation on the basis of an environmental disaster. El Salvador’s TPS designation will end on Sept. 9, 2019. Honduras’s TPS is good until July 5, when the DHS will decide whether to extend, redesign or terminate their protection.

This shit makes me sick to my stomach, the drivers of these death traps be damned. Especially if they’re American.
This is attempted murder, I don’t give a damn if these are wet backs, they’re still human GODDAMIT.
These drivers run when the heat is on, everybody dies.
These drivers are scum, fk em, …. they get caught, shoot them on the spot. Fkg scumbags
yes, Mark, they’re human. But they won’t stop coming as long as they’re alive. As soon as they’re healthy again, they’ll continue their pilgrimage here.
Of course they will, and the same scum who drove them here lives large.
Absolutely right Mark…how do these drivers look at themselves in their mirrors at night or in the morning?
But this isn’t the worst I’ve ever heard of…in the early 90s near Sierra Blanca in far west Texas Border Patrol found several hundred (more than 300 that is) in one railway car stopped on railroad tracks, about 500 or more men, women, children and many dead bodies, in the midst of summer with temps over 100 degrees AND NO WATER! They had been abandoned, and didn’t even realize that they had been left there to die, but fortunately, Border Patrol rescued them (and likely deported them as well).
No ventilation? No problem. Just run a hose from the exhaust pipe into the cargo area.
And of course, we’ll have to take them all in for “humanitarian reasons”. Mexico won’t send them home….. they’ll send ’em here.
We don’t need a wall on the border. We need a machine gun nest every 200 yards with soldiers in each one, shooting anything that moves.
“Just run a hose from the exhaust pipe into the cargo area.”
OUTSTANDING SUGGESTION, JR!
They come here to rape, murder & pillage our resources.
Them dead is in our best interests… NO SYMPATHY!
The ones coming here to kill aren’t coming in these trailers, they’ re coming here via private jet.
Regardless, Mark, if ENOUGH of them die trying to get here, they’ll eventually stop coming.
I just want MY COUNTRY BACK from these damn FOREIGN INVADERS!
And I really don’t give a sh#t how that’s achieved.
All you have to do is stop the free shit, they will stop coming. In the mean time, shoot these drivers.
1+1= 2
10 miles wide Zone with mines
And razor wire
Cheap
And effective
Yeah, well I’m coming from the drivers end, these guys are scum bags. Say what you want about my comments, the drivers are scum facilitating this shit.
Look inside these trailers, fkg sickening.
Gee…Funny how there is no word on whether they were sent back to their country or not. Just that they were taken to an area that is conveniently near the Texas border. Not the Southern Mexican border.
Yep, don’t transfer them back to their country of origin or anything. Just put a stamp on the truck that says, “Straight to America!” and let the US deal with it. Such great pals them Mexicans are.
I don’t give a rat’s ass what happens to these criminals. If criminals die participating in a criminal act, so be it. I’m tired of this foreign invasion.
