Despite mass migrant murders in Tamaulipas...migrants, mainly from Central America, continue to flood into Mexico...on their way to the USA.

On the southern border in Chiapas...police found 210 migrants from Brasil, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua...packed so tightly into the truck that they had to stand.

Also in Chiapas in May...federal police apprehended 513 migrants from two trailer trucks.

A captured Guatemalan migrant said he paid smugglers $3,000 for a trip to the USA for work. "There's no work back home," he said.
