MEXICO CITY (AP) - Authorities in the northern Mexico border state of Tamaulipas say they have detained 289 Central American migrants, including some children with measles and other illnesses.

The Tamaulipas state government says the migrants were found crammed into the freight compartments of two tractor-trailer trucks.

Authorities had to punch a hole in one of the freight containers to free the migrants, who had been transported from the Gulf coast state of Tabasco toward the U.S. border.

Some of the children were also found to have chickenpox.

The state said Monday the migrants were given food, water and medical attention and turned over to immigration authorities.

SEND THEM ALL BACK!

289 Illegals in just two tractor trailers? I don't know how you squeeze that many in. But I don't doubt that it happened.
That was a big money load for some Human Trafficker. At just $500 per head, that would be about $150,000 for just two trucks.
These human traffickers and drug cartels are getting away with way with too much BS.
Trump has said twice he was going to shut down the Border. But he hasn't the courage to do that.
He shouldn't say it, because it just gives his Base hope.
This is insane. Send them troops in and take control of OUR BORDER.
