Mexico is the 2nd most violent country in the Western Hemisphere, not much mystery to this

A police spokesman said in a press conference that "it could be 50 people" inside the lorry. "We can assume that it could be 20 people who
died. It could also be 40, it could be 50 people," he said.
Tens of thousands of people have been making their way across Europe, fleeing violence - many of them from Syria and Afghanistan.
It is understood that the lorry's licence plates are Hungarian, and Hungarian authorities are helping the Austrians to try and locate the driver.

It was the first thing Arthur Laffer, the famed supply side economist and informal adviser to much of the GOP field, brought up in a recent interview about the real estate mogul. Laffer dislikes Trump's support of immigration restrictions and tariffs on imports from China, but he delights in how Trump proclaims, in Laffer's words, "I’m rich! I’m rich and I love it!"
"He’s not ashamed of it!" Laffer said. "That’s what you want for your kids, isn’t it? He’s just coming out and saying it.”
He contrasted that stance with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who often tells crowds about how his Cuban immigrant parents struggled to make ends meet when he was growing up. “They couldn’t make it, is what he’s saying,” Laffer said. “It shows me that he doesn’t hold in honor the economic success that I do. When I look at a rich person, I don’t think, here’s a lying cheating so and so. I think, here’s a guy who made it!”
"I would say that the hedge fund people make a lot of money and they pay very little tax. I'm about the middle class. I want the middle class to be thriving again. We're losing our middle-class. ... I would let people that are making hundreds of millions of dollars a year pay some tax, because right now they're paying very little tax, and I think it's outrageous. I want to lower taxes for the middle class."
Asked if he was proposing to raise taxes on himself, Trump replied: "That's right. That's right. I'm okay with it, ready, willing. And you've seen my statements. I mean I do very well. I don't mind paying some tax. The middle class is getting clobbered in this country. The middle class built this country, not the hedge fund guys. But I know people in hedge funds, they pay almost nothing, and it's ridiculous, okay?"

You guys have MUCH better memories than I but I could swear Clinton's camp said something similar back in '08. How did that work out?

that's an interesting way he presents both the figures and the debate around taxes.
