The following is a excerpted news report from Reuters. It illustrates
the dire risks involved in paying smugglers for transportation across
the U.S./Mexican border. It is said that the rate is $2,300 U.S. for
transportation into the U.S. Please don't waste your money, or your
life; the smugglers don't have a conscience and a person's life means
nothing to them.
Bodies of 18 Immigrants Found in Truck in Texas
Wed May 14, 9:36 PM ET
By Matt Daily
VICTORIA, Texas (Reuters) - The bodies of 18 illegal Mexican
immigrants who died from suffocation and heat exhaustion were
discovered on Wednesday in a packed tractor trailer abandoned at a
rest stop.
Someone from inside the sweltering truck used a cell phone to call an
emergency 911 operator around midnight, frantically pleading that the
immigrants were trapped and suffocating. But the call was lost and the
truck rode on until Victoria.
It was two hours later when sheriff's deputies responding to a
disturbance at the truck stop discovered the dead among a group of
immigrants packed into the trailer, many of whom ran off when the
doors were opened early on Wednesday morning.
Authorities said they could account for at least 62 immigrants, dead
or alive. Michael Shelby, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of
Texas, said as many as 100 could have been inside the truck. It
appeared to have been driven roughly four hours to Victoria, from
somewhere near the Mexican border.
The phone call came around midnight as the truck drove through
Kingsville, more than 100 miles south of Victoria, Kingsville police
chief Sam Granato said. The Spanish-speaking caller told the
English-speaking operator "We're asphyxiating. We're illegals,"
Granato said, but police could not trace the phone's location.
Ten minutes later a caller reported to Kingsville police having seen
someone frantically waving a bandana through a hole in the side of a
trailer. The 18 victims, including a child, more than doubled the
number of illegal immigrants believed to have died in U.S.-Mexico
border crossings this year.
Federal authorities in Houston, where the truck's cab was found,
arrested a man to whom the vehicle was registered in Schenectady, New
York. Shelby identified the man as Tyrone Williams, and said he had
not yet been charged with a crime. Charges were expected later, he
said. Police were still hunting two other suspects, a man and a woman,
he told reporters
at a press conference.
Fifteen immigrants, ranging in age from 14 to 91, were taken to two
local hospitals for treatment. One of the 18 fatalities, a 91-year-old
man, died from a heart attack soon after arriving at Citizens Medical
Center, a hospital spokeswoman said. Several of the immigrants were
released by the hospitals to the custody of the sheriff. Some were in
good condition and three were in serious or critical condition. Detar
Hospital spokesman Jerrel Robinowich said some of those brought in had
body temperatures of 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
