But there’s no crisis, just a challenge...

So, how do you get 24 people into a Ford Expedition?

Wouldn’t this be a big story about Trump’s fault if he were President?

Throw in a green card.

How do you get them out?
Throw in a census form.

Jeez...25 people in the car. Let's guess the average weight is 150 pounds, that is over 3,700 pounds of weight inside the vehicle. I wonder if that contributed to an acceleration issue prior to the collision?

Word on the street is that they were all babies, including the driver.

13 dead.

Interesting how it's being reported (I know nothing of this site, it just popped up in my newsfeed on google):

But the VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH says this: "At least 13 people were killed when an SUV carrying 25 people crashed into a big rig Tuesday morning in Imperial County."

Then, "The El Centro Regional Medical Center reported 25 passengers riding in a 1997 Ford Expedition crashed into a semi-truck full of gravel on Tuesday morning. CHP added that the ages of the passengers ranged from 15 to 53 years old."

"A Ford Expedition typically seats eight people legally. The CHP did not immediately know why so many occupants had been crammed into the SUV." Insert facepalm here: __________________

Other reports say that the truck hit the SUV at an intersection. Gonna be a while to sort it out, I'd guess.

Either they were clowns or illegal immigrants. I'm guessing clowns.
