Mexico blames poverty and US border crisis for Texas lorry migrant deaths – BBC News


"Poverty and desperation" led to the deaths of at least 50 migrants abandoned in a Texas lorry, Mexico’s president has said.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador blamed trafficking and "a lack of control" at the border – the worst case of migrant deaths due to smuggling in the US.

Nearly two dozen Mexicans, seven Guatemalans and two Hondurans were among the dead.

Those found alive, including four children, were taken to hospital.

The White House called the truck deaths "horrific and heart-breaking".
