Police in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas stopped 2 tractor trailers for a random x-ray check and found...513 migrants bound for Puebla and ultimately the USA...stuffed inside.
The trucks had air holes punched in the tops of the containers but migrants said they lacked air and water.
They said they were charged $7,000 usd to get to the USA.
The migrants were comprised of 410 Guatemaltecos, 47 Salvadorans, 32 from Ecuador, 12 from India,
6 from Nepal, 3 from China and one from Japan, the Dominican Republic and Honduras.
That total also included 32 women and four children.
Four smugglers tried to escape in the trucks but were chased down and arrested.
