Horrible wreck, but might pull personnel away from the outfits digging tunnels under the border from Mexico to the USA.

You Probably nailed it!!!!

****The Noche Buena gold mine is owned and operated by the British-Mexican firm Fresnillo plc. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It has operated the gold mine since 2012, according to the company’s website.****

No worries. Plenty of unskilled labor replacements pouring across the border even as we speak.

Replacing the buses will take more effort.

Where are the parents of the thousands of very young children who are walking hundreds of miles without food and supplies. Who is leading them to the border?

“Everyone involved in the crash was from Mexico” and “owned and operated by the British-Mexican firm Fresnillo”

They’d be alive and well if they hadn’t crossed the border illegally.

The mine needs to be shut down and the owners should be kicked out of the US of A.

“Where are the parents of the thousands of very young children...”

I don’t understand that....it’s criminal. They’re just tossing their kids into the wind hoping for the best.

The mine is in Mexico, and the crash happened in Mexico. No border crossing involved.

The Phoenix dateline is a bit confusing.
