Texas elected officials are responding to Monday's discovery of 51 dead illegal immigrants in a trailer in San Antonio. Mayor Ron Nirenberg described it as a "horrific human tragedy." Governor Greg Abbott blamed President Biden's "deadly open border policies." Democratic State Senator Roland Gutierrez blamed Abbott. Democratic U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro blamed the Trump-era pandemic policy known as Title 42. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke said the state needs "expanded avenues for legal migration."
