Shocking X-ray images from the Mexican border reveal the ways people attempt to enter the United States without documentation.
While Donald Trump continues to enforce his anti-immigration policies, these heartbreaking images show the lengths people are willing to go to escape Mexico in search of a better life.
Investing Planet shared several of these images on Instagram, where X-ray scanners revealed individuals in extremely uncomfortable spots — such as compartments between wheels or squeezed into tight spaces between the driver’s seat and cargo.
It may be hard to believe, but this is the reality for many immigrants trying to enter the U.S. undetected. Last year, a man was found inside a suitcase at the border between Mexico and Texas, according to Texas Scorecard.
“Many of these foreign nationals illegally inside the United States represent significant threats to national and public security, committing vile and heinous acts against innocent Americans,” read a post from the White House following Trump’s inauguration.
While Trump may label these people as “aliens” or a “danger to America,” many of them are simply seeking a better life — and these haunting images prove how far they’re willing to go to try to achieve it.
