Eight migrants died in a crash near the Texas border city of Del Rio on Monday after a truck they were riding in collided with another vehicle in the midst of a police chase.

The Texas Department of Public Safety said a red Dodge pickup truck was "evading" troopers after refusing to pull over for a traffic violation.

The truck collided head-on with a Ford truck on U.S. Highway 277, approximately 30 miles outside of the border city.

Eight people in the Dodge were killed in the crash, and one passenger was hospitalized. All of those in the Dodge who were killed or hospitalized were undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

All of the people killed in the crash were between the ages of 18 and 20, local officials said, according to The Associated Press. Seven were men and one was a woman.

The reported driver of the Dodge truck, Sebastian Tovar, allegedly ran from the crash. However, he was later taken into federal custody and was set to be charged by the state in the incident.

The driver and a child in the Ford were hospitalized after the crash.

Earlier this month, more than a dozen people were killed when a tractor-trailer and an SUV that was believed to be carrying at least 25 passengers in Southern California crashed. The SUV was believed to have entered California through an open section of a border fence with Mexico.

Migrant implies temporary movement whereas immigrant implies permanent residency.

The headline is more incorrect than the sentence mentioning migrants...

Illegal aliens is the correct term.

It's widely known that there are many van loads of them on our highways at any one time, and not necessarily near border towns.

Several winters ago, about a half dozen of these "transports", driven by unskilled but highly paid "coyotes" slid off the highways here in Colorado during a lengthy state wide storm that resulted in a lot of black ice....during a period of three or four days.. .

Some injuries but no fatalities. No arrests...since Colorado is a "sanctuary" for "undocumented immigrants", as is its capitol city Denver.

Those 8 migrants are now permanent residents, aren't they?

Ask them if it was worth it.

Interesting question.  I don't assume they will be buried in the US.

Ask them if it was worth it.

There's little point in asking the dead is there?

It appears to JJ and others that the author of the article is confused

as the people in question cannot be both migrants and immigrants at the same time.

One would think a staff journalist working for The Hill would know better.

Have a great & fantastic evening.

No doubt the cops will be blamed for giving chase.  Why not ask the border jumper if it was worth it to run?

I'm not even going to comment on the way the article is written...

Can we talk about how many people are in these vehicles that are crashing and killing people?

I mean... yes, as a teenager we were stupid and fit 6 people into a Jeep CJ5 and 7 people in a Ford Probe, but come on! Wasn't there like 25 in the SUV and now 10 [at least] in an F150?

Something like that. I am curious as to how you even fit 25 people in an SUV.

I'd imagine people were laying on top of one another and some in the cargo area doing the same and maybe even on the floorboard of the passenger side of the vehicle, two if they were small.

Even with the seats out it almost seems like they would have to still be sitting on top of each other. If it were me I’d just say “fuck that, I’ll walk.”

And hey, the more things change the more they stay the same.

You guys obviously didn't try hard enough - how 'bout getting 17 in a VW Beetle?  Did it in college - nuthin' to it.

In the Jeep CJ5, there were 3 [maybe 4, I don't remember completely... it was a VERY LONG time ago, and a lot of getting high after that], the driver, and two of us smaller girls in the front passenger seat.

1.3 million people die in car accidents every year in the USA.

I wonder how many highway deaths there would be if all illegals were shipped out?

Given the extremely small percentage of illegals causing accidents, I would guess 1.3 million a year.

An extremely small percentage of illegals cause accidents? Where do you get that from? Since dems have been saying for years and years and years there are 11 million, so probably closer to 20-30 million, i bet the number would be significantly smaller. 
and why are you so blasé’ about fellow Americans dying at the hands of people who shouldn’t be here? America last?

Surely you know he was talking about the number of illegal aliens in the US.

You can read the OP as well as anyone. Do you dispute the stat that I posted?

Hope the people in the Ford fully recover and their bills are all paid, sounds like they were just driving down the road minding their own business

There are people here I am sure that are celebrating the fact that illegals died.

I find it curious that if one US person is killed by an illegal, it's BAD BAD BAD!!!!, but if a US person kills a US person...it's totally ok. 

Weird.

I find it curious that some can’t make the distinction that an American killed at the hands of an illegal would still be alive if our politicians upheld our laws by keeping illegals out, and if employers and foreigners honored our laws.
