With President Donald Trump stepping up the border security and pushing this country's nationalism of lessening the amount of illegal immigrants making their way into our country, more and more immigrants have been turning to packing themselves into large tractor trailers and trucks in order to avoid Mexican immigration authorities when moving into the U.S. In July, eight immigrants were found dead inside of a large tractor trailer parked in a Walmart parking lot in San Antonio, Texas, with at least 100 left in the back of the sweltering trailer. Two more of the immigrants died a few days later, and the driver of the truck was just recently indicted this month. State officials are reporting more and more cases of immigrants traveling in unsafe, high-risk conditions due to maximum amount of effort being put towards border security.
