On Monday night, 50 illegal immigrants were found dead in an abandoned 18-wheeler in San Antonio, dozens were hospitalized.

Evidence suggests that the immigrants died a brutal death, with all of the survivors suffering from severe exhaustion, dehydration, and heat stroke.

The trailer was holding as many as 100 migrants and was located at the 9600 block of Quintana Road. Fox News reported that this incident appeared to be a failed attempt at a human-smuggling operation that was greenlit by the Biden administration's lax policies regarding border security.

According to the New York Times, the number of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.'s southern border soared to a new high in 2021, with immigrant encounters numbering 1.7 million in the last 12 months.

Many high-level officials are blaming the Biden administration's border policies for the incident.

Texas Governor J. Abbott tweeted out Monday night, "At Least 42 People Found Dead Inside Truck Carrying Migrants In Texas. These deaths are on Biden. They are a result of his deadly open border policies. They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law."
