Another individual later died at the hospital. The other 12 individuals were all transported to local hospital with injuries ranging from serious to critical, based on initial reporting. CBP said in a statement that \u201call are suspected to have entered the U.S. illegally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second vehicle, a Chevy Suburban, was found in a nearby area \u201cengulfed in flames on the U.S. side of the border,\u201d the Los Angeles Times reported. Nineteen people were found hiding in the bushes near the crash and federal law enforcement officials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/national-media-release\/el-centro-bp-agents-assist-local-first-responders-continue\">determined<\/a> \u201cthey had entered the country illegally through the breach in the border fence.\u201d USA Today <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/us\/human-smuggling-probe-suv-in-california-crash-entered-through-hole-in-border-fence-officials-say\/ar-BB1ecfGD?ocid=uxbndlbing\">reported<\/a> that the Suburban \u201ccarried\u201d the 19 people before catching fire approximately 30 miles after crossing the border.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced shortly after the mass casualty accident that they had opened up a human smuggling investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecial Agents from Homeland Security Investigations San Diego responded to the scene of today\u2019s fatal crash in El Centro, California, and have initiated a human smuggling investigation,\u201d ICE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxla.com\/news\/deadly-crash-involving-suv-carrying-25-people-prompts-human-smuggling-investigation-ice-confirms\">said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cThe investigation is ongoing and no further details are available at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a tragedy that has once again exposed the weakness of those portions of the border not protected by the new wall system,\u201d former senior DHS immigration adviser Ken Cuccinelli told The Daily Wire. \u201cThese folks came easily through an old and worn out part of the old wall protecting our border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two Democrat U.S. lawmakers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/crash-that-left-13-dead-in-california-involved-illegal-aliens-smugglers-who-entered-hole-in-older-border-fence-report\">warned this week<\/a> that President Joe Biden\u2019s immigration agenda will be a disaster for the U.S. and both specifically mentioned that human smugglers know how to work the system.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) \u201chopes the administration continues using a Trump-era public health order to quickly expel migrant adults and families, at least during the pandemic,\u201d Axios reported. \u201cHe said smugglers will likely use the shift in immigration tactics from the Trump to the Biden administration to convince migrants to come to the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bad guys know how to market this,\u201d Cuellar said.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) told CNN that the policies the Biden administration is pushing for could devastate the Democrat Party and the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, my concern at this in the recent weeks in my district, migrants who made it across the border, who even pass the line of MPPs [Migrant Protection Protocols], who were 5,000 folks that have been waiting for two years across the border, made it across the Rio Grande Valley were processed and released,\u201d Gonzalez said. \u201cIf that is the message that we send to Central America and around the world, I can assure you, it won\u2019t be long before we have tens of thousands of people showing up to our border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019ll be catastrophic for our party, for our country, for my region, for my district, in the middle of a pandemic, in an area where we\u2019ve lost over 3,000 people in my small congressional district,\u201d Gonzalez continued. \u201cSo, I think we need to have a better plan in place. I think asylum seekers should be able to ask for asylum and be processed in their home country or a neighboring country. And we shouldn\u2019t have a policy in place that impulses people to make this 2,000 mile trek where cartels and human traffickers are enriching themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
