Illegal Transportation Deaths Stir Calls for Immigration Reform Outrage mounting here in the Lone Star State where at least ten people were found dead in the back of a sweltering hot tractor-trailer.

The victims passing away after spending hours locked inside a semi-truck in more than 100-degree weather. Dozens more remain hospitalized, recovering from extreme dehydration and heat strokes.

The state's Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick says the discovery reinforces the need for immigration reform. Patrick says cases of human trafficking exist because of some cities' sanctuary policies.

"This is just a horrendous tragedy that should never happen in America, but our policies from the last administration, and quite frankly, the Democrat policies today of an open border and sanctuary cities allows and enables these drug smugglers who don't care about human life to put people in this horrific situation," Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.

The truck's driver has been charged with illegally transporting immigrants for financial gain, and could face the death penalty if convicted. He told police that he didn't know what the truck's cargo was.
