About this sermon
Three more people have died following the discovery of migrants trapped in a truck trailer in Texas, bringing the death toll to 53. The CEO of Catholic Charities San Antonio says he visited with a young woman Monday night who was one of the victims. Antonio Fernandez, Catholic Charities San Antonio CEO says, "We asked her if she was from Guatemala, because we had been told that it was people from Guatemala, and she actually nodded yes. So she was able to communicate. But you know we saw that she was weak, so we actually didn't want to bother her a lot." 9 more victims remain hospitalized with heart-related illnesses. The tragedy is believed to be the nation's deadliest smuggling episode at the US Southern border. President of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, Alfonso Aguilar, joins to talk more about the tragic situation, what happened, how the migrants were found and whether there are any updates on the survivors. There are reports that the driver of the truck was high on meth. Aguilar explains how much our policies on the Southern border contribute to both illicit drugs entering the country as well as humans being smuggled in. He fills us in on what else he is following.
