"More than 40 undocumented migrants were found dead on Monday inside an 18-wheel tractor-trailer in San Antonio, a major city in south central U.S. state of Texas, local media reported.
Ron Nirenberg, mayor of San Antonio tweeted Monday night "More than 40 hopeful lives were lost. I urge you to think compassionately, pray for the deceased, the ailing, and their families at this moment." "Migrants seeking asylum should always be treated as a humanitarian crisis, but this evening we're facing a horrific human tragedy," the mayor lamented.
Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott slammed U.S. President Joe Biden for the tragedy. He tweeted, "These deaths are on Biden. They are a result of his deadly open border policies."
