Description
After authorities found an 18-wheeler that carried up to 100 individuals abandoned in San Antonio, including at least 46 individuals who were deceased, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott blamed President Joe Biden and his immigration policies.
The people were suffering from heat stroke/exhaustion. Patients were hot to the touch, suffering from heat stroke, heat exhaustion.
“We’re not supposed to open a truck and see a stack of bodies in there,” said Chief Hood.
Hood said there no signs of water inside the truck, and while it was a refrigerated vehicle, “there was no visible working AC unit on that rig.” Those who were taken to the hospital were “too weak” to pull themselves out of the truck, Hood added.
In a tweet, Abbott said Monday evening's discovery rests squarely on Biden. "At Least 42 People Found Dead Inside Truck Carrying Migrants In Texas. These deaths are on Biden," Abbott said.
Two more migrants later died at a Texas hospital, officials said, bringing the total death toll to 48.
The Republican governor also criticized Biden for not doing enough to secure the southern border.

"They are a result of his deadly open border policies. They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law," Abbott added.
Several other officials blamed the incident on Biden’s immigration policies, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who called the discovery "horrific" and "wrong."
"How many more people have to die before Dems give a da--?" he asked, before making a reference to Biden’s border crisis.
