    Back in the early 70's a gasoline tanker truck was found abandoned near Tucson. If memory serves, there were 40 bodies in the tanks.

    That is truly sad for the ones who died and the others left in the trl.
    Needle time for all involved who moved these people and the ones who took the money also

    What is even more sickening is that usually the people, (if they can be called that,) that do this crap, are for the most part, Mexicans, who are exploring other Mexicans. They have no morals at all.
    Don't know if it's still this way or not, but there used to be sort of a "no man's land," immediately north of the border, in the general area of San Diego. Lots of underbrush, arroyos and hills. Bandits used to intercept the wets and rob them. Often, they would kill them. And rape the women and even kids, before killing them.
     
    Ruthless and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    From the article:

    "The Trump administration and Gov. [Greg] Abbott have to be held to task,” she added. “They, in fact, have blood on their hands for creating the kind of situation that allows these tragedies to happen."
