An American driver has been arrested in Texas after border agents found 53 i*****l i*******ts from Mexico and several other countries south of the U.S. border hidden inside a sweltering tractor-trailer, authorities said Friday.

The unidentified driver was the only visible occupant inside the vehicle when it pulled up to the Interstate Highway 35 (IH-35) checkpoint north of Laredo on Tuesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement.

A canine alerted border agents to the odors of concealed humans or narcotics from inside the trailer during a primary inspection of the vehicle, the CPB said. Upon further examination, agents said they discovered 53 migrants from Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, who were "all illegally present in the United States."

The temperature inside the trailer was recorded at 105 degrees at the time of the discovery, though no one required medical attention, according to the CPB.

Agents arrested the U.S. citizen and all 53 i*****l i*******ts, who they said would be "processed accordingly." Border Patrol seized the tractor-trailer.

It was unclear whether the driver is facing charges, but investigators called the incident a "human smuggling attempt." Homeland Security Investigations is handling the case.

So the "cargo" will get deported, but what about the driver? What should his punishment be? I think he should spend a year in jail for each illegal he t***sported into the USA.

So, he picked up hitchhikers and put them all in the cargo area of his truck. Interesting take on smuggling i******s into the USA.

Section 274(a)(2) makes it a crime to, knowingly or in reckless disregard of the fact that the person lacks prior official authorization to enter or live in the U.S., bring or attempt to bring that person into the country. (A failed crime is still a crime under this section.) In this case, it doesn’t even matter whether the person brings the noncitizen to an official entry point or not. Attempting to smuggle someone through a checkpoint in the trunk of one's car would be prosecuted under this section. Penalties can include a fine under Title 18 of the U.S. Code, a prison term of up to one year, or both. Again, the penalties can be multiplied by the number of violations. And, if he took money from these people....fine and up to 19 years for each instantiation.
