What an awful story. As of now, eight people are dead and 30 are in the hospital after being stuck in a truck in a Walmart parking lot in Texas. There was no ventilation in the truck and these human beings were packed in there like sardines. This just goes to show the desperation many people have in trying to get to the U.S.

The article states that surveillance cameras showed vehicles driving to the truck to pick up people and then take off. This is absolutely disgusting as they were treated as cattle and probably unloaded to the highest bidder. What a sad day when people are treated like this so some criminals can make some money.

This is horrific.

It's awful. Hard to believe it happened and continues to occur in the U.S.
