VICTORIA, Texas — Locked inside the back of a sweltering, airless semitrailer, a large group of illegal immigrants tried desperately to save themselves.

One dialed 911 on a cell phone and pleaded for help in Spanish. But by the time a South Texas police dispatcher found someone to translate, the call had been lost.

Excuse Me! This was not Chicago or Birmingham - this was Victoria, Texas and they needed a translator! 80% of the people of Victoria speak Spanish to some extent - And no one at the police department did!!! This is bullshit.
