Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Tuesday laid the blame on human smugglers, poverty and a “lack of control” at the U.S.-Mexico border for the deaths of 50 immigrants in a tractor-trailer abandoned on the Southwest Side. 

López Obrador called the discovery of the northbound trailer parked near Lackland Air Force Base on Monday evening a “tremendous tragedy.”
