That’s a surprising, and unsettling, remark from a Freeper. There are 80 people, likely men, women, AND children suffocating to death. Some already dead. Illegal immigrants yes, but humans who were desperate enough to call the police from inside a dark airless death trap.
I hope that all the people inside that tanker survive, return to their home countries, and then tell everyone there to stop trying to enter another country illegally.
If you were trying to break into someone else’s home and got stuck in a vent you would probably decide to call for help rather than die yourself. If help didn’t show up and you did die whose fault would it be? If you brought your child along and he or she perished whose fault would it be?
I guess in your world the happy ending is when burglar and child get away along with a a good part of the homeowner’s life’s work.
No, they should have been caught at the border. If you must open the trailer, release them immediately back to Mexican officials and emergency personnel. At no point should they be allowed to stay in the US for any longer than it takes them, alive or dead to get back across the border. Sadly, history shows that if they get to stay—treatment, processing, etc.—they win the US lottery with healthcare, education, work permits, and so forth.
