Hope word of this gets back to Mexico quickly; it may prevent more needless deaths.
Who's to say these illegals are from Mexico? The more desperate are from Honduras, Guatemala, and particularly El Salvador.
Eventually, with the fertility rate having dropped to 2.2 in Mexico, there'll be fewer and fewer coming here, and they may welcome the immigrants from Central America, and, from what I've read, they are already welcoming them into Mexico.
What a horrid, painful way to die! Not to say those found dehydrated in the desert in AZ suffered any less.

Most of the illegal immigrants on the truck were apparently from Guatemala. Does it really matter where they were from though? They were coming into this country illegally. They had a horrible experience and some of them died. It's dangerous to come into this country illegally.
I have a feeling this is one concern as they try to rush into self driving trucks. They say within 5-10 yrs there will be no human truck drivers anymore. This will throw a huge wrench into human smuggling operations, as well as any illegal contraband moved in by trucks.
Ah, ok, I missed that. The headline of the article said "Human Trafficking," which made me think of kidnapping women and girls for sex. Either way it is very sad. These people who died must have felt very desperate to even try this. And, as someone else mentioned, the fact that the US does not strictly enforce immigration law leads to desperate people thinking that being smuggled in will be successful.
Transporting immigrants without the proper paperwork IS human trafficking. And plenty of those people wind up getting trafficked some other way, like the basement full of restaurant employees who were left to burn up when the restaurant owners' house caught fire. Five people dead, after who knows how many months of being made to work in a kitchen for slave wages. Welcome to America, folks.
