Alleged human smugglers arrested in Texas after hiding migrants inside hollowed hay bales

Texas deputies uncovered an alleged human smuggling operation this week that used hay bales to hide migrants. A dozen migrants were found inside.

Suspected human smugglers were arrested this week while allegedly attempting to hide migrants inside modified hay bales, officials said.

Deputies conducting a routine traffic stop on a pickup pulling a hay trailer Tuesday near Flatonia, Texas, noticed that the bales inside the trailer had been hollowed out to create compartments, the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office said.

After looking more closely, the deputies noticed there were people inside the bales in "dangerously confined spaces" below a metal framework and layers of hay.

 
Random question

If this occurred during a “routine traffic stop”

Why did the driver wind up at a hospital for treatment?

The driver, Delbert Flanders, 44, of Kansas, was taken to a hospital for treatment

Do drivers often wind up in the hospital after “routine traffic stops”?

Sometimes masked thugs smash windows and drag people out of vehicles like we have witnessed ICE agents do…



I think it’s a shame and a disgrace that humans are hiding in HAY BALES.

That’s not something humans would do unless they were scared and desperate.

Too bad we have a society and country where humans are so scared and desperate they’re hiding in hay bales.
 
oh please. they didn't get shoved into hay bales by ICE. Sorry but we are not here to fix the world. Millions of immigrants came in legally

I didn’t claim they were shoved in the bales by ICE. Fight your own strawman

My statement stands.

your statement is politically unpopular. You can thank Biden's open borders for squashing any compassion out of the American public
I dont give a damn about migrants -all out of sympathy when they murder and commit crimes and are unskilled drags on society
 
I don’t care what is popular.

Just because something is popular, doesn’t mean it is right or moral.

And, as I teach my son - his job is to do what is right. Not what is popular.


People felt compelled to hide in hay bales. That’s sad. And it’s wrong. And it shouldn’t be that way.

It's the biggest greatest most fantastic smuggling ring bust in all of human history.
 
running a country takes more then individual morals. Sometimes you have to do what's best for the good of the greater majority
Most migrants are coming for the money. Or gangs like TdA to expand. It's a shame some are coming from persecution

If Biden hadn't so abused asylum, they would get their hearings
 
Some of us have morals.

Some don’t - they voted for Trump
 

The superior situation being one where lawbreakers don't fear doing their law breaking openly?
 
Lock em all up.
 

Based on what you think about the current administration and future of our country in the next few years, shouldn't you be actively rooting for people to not come here? Shouldn't you be actively helping people get out?

I think it’s disgusting we have a country where people are hiding in hay bales in Texas.

And where a driver that was pulled over in a “routine traffic stop” winds up in a hospital for treatment.

But hey, you want to make this about what I think other people should do…

That’s not speaking to the content of MY character. It speaks to the content of yours that you skip over those details in order to try to throw shade my way
 

They are hiding in hay bales because they're breaking the law, Bird. People who want to break laws tend to try to evade authorities. And we don't know why the driver was taken to the hospital.

So based on what you think about the current administration and future of our country in the next few years, shouldn't you be actively rooting for people to not come here? Shouldn't you be actively helping people get out?
 
And the MAGA seals clap and parrot.
 
No one has smuggled more people than Joe Biden

Oh yeah, the old "people who disagree with me are evil" argument. That one's pretty much bulletproof. We should just shut down the forum.

And Trump convinced the GOP in Congress to prevent a bill that would have laid down a solid foundation of being able to apprehend and deport illegals far more quickly. Just so Trump could have a campaign to run on. Hell, while not perfect, even the National Border Control Council wanted that bill to pass.
 

Could you offer an alternative, more comfortable method, if any given person wants to entire the country illegally?

As for your condemnation of somebody for that driver being treated at the hospital, could you please provide the information that warrants such condemnation? Please.

I just checked the article that link points us to and tried other checks for information, and found nothing about why the driver was receiving medical treatment. I mean, it may have been the driver was already suffering from a bad cough. A bad cold. Already had a problem. And not at all inflicted by any other human.

So I assume you have some information I couldn't find. I'd appreciate your help.
