It was agruesomediscovery: the bodies of at least 46 people, found abandoned in a lorry in the baking 37°C heat of San Antonio, Texas, on June 27th. Seven more have died since. There was no air conditioning inside; corpses were reportedly dusted in steak seasoning to mask the smell. Over a dozen survivors, suffering fromheat exhaustion, were rushed to hospital. The tragedy was one of the deadliest incidents in recent decades related to people-smuggling along America’s border with Mexico—among the most lethal land borders in the world.
这是个恐怖的发现：6月27日得州圣安东尼奥37度高温，警方在一辆被遗弃的拖挂式大卡车内发现至少46具尸体。此后，又有另外7人死亡。该辆拖挂式大卡车内没有空调；据报道，尸体被撒上牛排调味料以掩盖气味。十二名幸存者因中暑而被紧急送往医院。这场悲剧是近几十年来最致命的移民悲剧，该悲剧与美国和墨西哥边境的人口走私有关——而该边境是世界上最致命的陆地边界。
