The U.S. border crisis is reaching chilling new extremes, as revealed by Nicaraguan migrant Alvin Sevilla’s harrowing story of nearly suffocating in an overcrowded smuggler truck. 🚚💔
In a CGTN Stringer interview, Sevilla described being crammed with 300 people in an oxygen-starved vehicle during his failed attempt to enter the U.S. \"I felt my chest collapsing… we were just bodies stacked like cargo,\" he recalled.
His nightmare reflects a broader humanitarian emergency: U.S. authorities recovered a record 890 migrant bodies along the border in fiscal year 2022 – a 58% spike from 2021, per Biden administration data. 📈 Many died from heat exposure, drowning, or smuggling-related abuses.
While politicians debate border policies, Sevilla’s account highlights the human cost of desperation: \"We risk everything for a chance… but that truck nearly became our coffin.\" 🔥 The crisis continues as thousands still brave dangerous routes daily.
