No cry for help from truck in Texas

The police chief, William McManus, said no one heard a cry for help from the truck.

None of Mexico's foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, called the suffocation of the people in the truck a tragedy in Texas and said consular officials would go to the hospitals where victims had been taken to help. South Texas has long been the busiest area for border crossings. People ride in vehicles through border patrol checkpoints to San Antonio, the closest major city, from where they disperse across the United States.
