SUV Carrying 27 People Crashes with Semi Truck Near Mexican Border, At Least 15 Killed
A tragedy that could’ve been avoided.

A Tuesday morning crash involving an SUV and a semi truck has killed at least 15 people.
The crash occurred near Holtville, California, a town close to both the Arizona border and the US-Mexico border. The SUV, according to the New York Times, pulled into the path of the semi at an intersection.
14 of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while another died at the hospital. At least six other victims are currently receiving treatment at the hospital as well.
It is believed that 27 passengers were packed inside the SUV, which had a maximum legal capacity of seven to eight people. Because of this and the crash’s proximity to the US-Mexico border, it is probable that the passengers were illegal immigrants being smuggled into the United States.
The California Highway Patrol has not officially confirmed their immigration status because it is still under investigation, but Dr. Adolphe Edward of the El Centro Regional Medical Center said he believes the victims to be illegal aliens.
Big League Politics is closely following the illegal immigration crisis that’s been brewing since Joe Biden’s assumption of the White House. We recently reported on how the Border Patrol expects 13,000 illegal alien minors to arrive at the US-Mexico border in just the month of May. We also reported on Biden’s DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claiming that he didn’t think the situation at the border constitutes a crisis:
Another reporter asked Mayorkas if he thought there was a crisis at the border, to which he replied: “I think that the answer is no. I think there is a challenge at the border that we are managing, and we have our resources dedicated to managing it.” Despite the reporter’s pushback on his claim, Mayorkas reiterated that his team was working “around the clock” to address the issues confronting the DHS and that the level of illegal immigrants coming across the border constitutes a challenge, not a crisis.
Illegal immigration is harmful to both the nation and the migrants. Tuesday’s accident near the border was a tragedy that could’ve been avoided.

Crash That Left 13 Dead In California Involved Illegal Aliens, Smugglers Who Entered
Crash That Left 13 Dead In California Involved Illegal Aliens, Smugglers Who Entered Hole In Older Border Fence: Report

A mass casualty car crash that resulted in at least 13 deaths near the U.S.-Mexico border in southern California involved illegal aliens and smugglers who drove through a hole that was cut in a section of the border fence, which was not part of former President Donald Trump’s wall.
Fox News reported that Border Patrol sources informed the network that the crash involved “human smugglers and 25 illegal immigrants” who were jammed into a single Ford Expedition, which normally can only seat eight people. The area where the fence was cut was constructed between 2007 and 2009 and was not part of the Trump administration’s wall.
“Two vehicles crammed with illegal immigrants inside had driven through the ten-foot wide hole in the early morning hours of Monday’s midnight shift, sources say,
somehow evading a mobile camera system set up nearby,” Fox News reported. “The sources added that the border patrol was not looking for the smugglers until they were notified by the Imperial County Sheriffs Office about the crash, which occurred about 8 miles north of where the fence was cut.”
Law enforcement officials are reportedly working with the Mexican consulate to identify the victims—who range from 20 to 55—so their families can be notified.
The Washington Post reported that El Centro Regional Medical Center chief executive Adolphe Edward said in an interview that he believed that the victims from the crash were illegal aliens, using the term “undocumented immigrants,” but later suggested that using that term was inappropriate for a healthcare professional, saying they “don’t use the term undocumented in the hospitals.”

Blood on Hands of Open Borders Biden: Horrific California Crash Involved Human Smuggl
Blood on Hands of Open Borders Biden: Horrific California Crash Involved Human Smuggling of Illegals, Over a Dozen Killed

The SUV with about two dozen people crammed in it that was involved in a horrific crash with a tractor trailer in Holtville, California on Monday that killed over a dozen people was part of a cross-border smuggling operation according to sources within Customs and Border Patrol, Fox News reported.
There has been a surge of illegal border crossings since Joe Biden took office. Biden has very publicly reversed President Trump’s tight border and immigration controls with promises of amnesty and allowing thousands of unaccompanied migrant children into the country. The Biden administration refuses to say there is a crisis at the border, instead calling it a “challenge.”

A section of border wall built in the 2000s was cut down near Holtville and two vehicles crossed through. Border Patrol caught the second vehicle and arrested 19 people but was not in pursuit of the SUV when the deadly crash happened.

Excerpt from KABC-TV report on the accident:
…Seats of the 1997 Ford Expedition were removed, making room for more people. The SUV, which would typically seat eight to nine people legally, collided with an empty tractor-trailer on Highway 115 at Norrish Road in Holtville — located about 125 miles east of San Diego and about 15 miles north of the Mexico border.
The area became a major route for illegal border crossings in the late 1990s after heightened enforcement in San Diego pushed migrants to more remote areas.
…CHP officials say at the intersection the SUV drove “directly in the path of the big rig” around 6:15 a.m. The 2011 Peterbilt truck struck the left side of the SUV, which appeared to have been pushed off the road. Investigators were trying to determine if the SUV first stopped at the stop sign before entering the intersection.
Authorities said the ages of those who were inside the vehicle, including those injured and killed, ranged from 15 to 53. Numerous people were ejected onto the roadway as a result of the collision, according to officials. Initial reports said there were young children in the SUV, but officials later said the youngest occupant was 15.
The driver of the SUV, who was among those killed, was described as a man from Mexicali. Information about the occupants of the SUV, including where they were traveling to and from and why there were so many in one vehicle, is still under investigation.
With now over a dozen migrants killed answering Biden’s siren call of amnesty, will Biden change and call a halt to relaxed border and immigration enforcement? Nearly thirty years ago then President-Elect Bill Clinton found himself in a similar situation with Haitian migrants. When a report surfaced in January 1993 a week before he took office that nearly four hundred Haitians drowned after their boat sank while trying to get to U.S. shores, Clinton, who had campaigned for president saying he would give Haitian migrants individual immigration hearings, announced he was changing his mind and would continue the Bush policy of repatriating Haitian migrants.
A “challenge”, not a crisis, says the Biden administration.
