Mexican and Guatemalan politicians echoed Republican lawmakers in the U.S. who blamed the Biden administration's failure to address the migration crisis at the southern border for the mass casualty event involving migrants this week.
The bodies of dozens of migrants were found in the back of an 18-wheeler truck that had been parked on the side of a dirt road just miles from downtown San Antonio Monday evening. As of Tuesday afternoon, 51 people have been declared deceased, rising overnight from 46 after several people who had been taken to the hospital succumbed to their injuries.
"It happens because there is trafficking of people and a lack of control, in this case at the Mexican-U.S. border, but also in the U.S. interior," Lopez Obrador said. President Joe Biden issued a statement around noon Tuesday, calling the incident a “tragic loss of life” that was both “horrifying and heartbreaking.”
Biden accused Abbott of"political grandstanding around tragedy" for his remarks Monday, and he compared Abbott's"shameful" behavior as comparable to the cartels' shameful actions of"exploiting vulnerable individuals for profit." While the WH press secretary and others in the Admin ridiculously keep saying"the border is closed", someone should ask them how we end up with 46 dead people who were smuggled 250 miles from the border to San Antonio.— Border Patrol Union - NBPC June 28, 2022 DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayoraks issued a statement late Monday that he was"heartbroken" and"praying" for the survivors. The Border Patrol union called on Mayorkas to resign.
