## Kids In Shipping Containers The tragic deaths of 53 migrants, including children, found in a shipping container in San Antonio, Texas is a grim reminder of the desperation and dangers that migrants face when attempting to cross the US-Mexico border. The tragedy has thrown a spotlight on the inhumanity of human smuggling and the need for comprehensive immigration reform. Migrants often turn to smugglers to cross the border, paying thousands of dollars for a perilous journey that can take days or even weeks. They are often packed into overcrowded vehicles or shipping containers, with little food or water, and no access to medical care. The conditions can be deadly, as evidenced by the San Antonio tragedy. The smuggling of migrants is a lucrative business, and smugglers often use shipping containers to transport their human cargo. The containers are easy to conceal and can be shipped over long distances. However, they are also very dangerous, as they can become extremely hot or cold, and there is no way for migrants to escape if they are locked inside. The tragedy in San Antonio is a reminder of the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform. The current immigration system is broken, and it is failing to meet the needs of migrants and the United States. We need a humane and orderly system that allows migrants to cross the border safely and legally. We also need to address the root causes of migration, such as poverty and violence in Central America. Until we have a comprehensive immigration reform, tragedies like the one in San Antonio will continue to happen. We must act now to save lives and build a more just and humane immigration system.
