An abandoned tea kettle with discarded cups and sugar. A long-forgotten blanket draped over a spiny cholla cactus. These are just some of the items volunteers and immigrant rights advocates have found in the unforgiving desert separating the United States from Mexico, where an untold number of people seeking asylum pass through every day. Experts say increased temperatures and a persistent heat wave in the Southwest has exacerbated an already difficult immigration crisis and endangered the lives of migrants who often undertake long and perilous journeys without food, water or sun protection. “People just don’t know what they’re up against,”

Well, if they don't like the heat here they can just go home.

Never mind that most of them come from climes even closer to the equator.

The illegals that I see look awfully well fed and hydrated. You don't 'walk' 2000 miles without food and water and still gain weight.

Well, illegals, give some serious thought to going back to where you came from then. And get out of here.

They came from countries that are on the equator. These temps remind them of home.

soooo..it's suddenly Hotter on THIS side of the river? Just this side?
Nearly all of the illegals are from Equatorial zones, they should be well acclimated...It's the Reporters, writing this story that are "out of their element" and devastated by the heat, those not from northern climes are spoiled airconditioner trained elites...even when the peons have none.

An incoherent article based on false WH talking points and sob stories from bleeding heart liberals. Valid asylum claims are rare. Most are trying to cross illegally for free services. What parent willingly subjects their children to this?

Great news. Perhaps they'll stop coming, or a few will die in the process and help reduce the damage being done to OUR country.
Stay home.

"Migrants"?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!
And Boo-de-Hoo-Hoo.....it's Summertime in the South and Southwest.
It's HOT. Always has been.
Some places are REALLY hot!
There's a reason that place out in the southwest is called 'Death Valley'.

Their "long and perilous journey" begins after they have been trucked, trained, flown and boated to the Rio Grande. It is in the best interests of those who ship the migrants here that the United States take care of them. Sorry we didn't have the foresight to place water fountains in the desert for you.

So do American citizens whose electricity is shut off or can’t afford the high price of running an air conditioner

#14, close but actually the legal term is "illegal alien". That is the technically correct term.
Smearing actual legal immigrants by calling illegal aliens ANY form if "immigrant" or "migrant" is just a slur on honest people who come here by following the laws.
IMO, legal immigrants are welcome.
Illegal aliens should be harshly punished, up to including.....well anything, in defending the border.

NBC, take it up with Biden. He invited them during the Dem Presidential Debates.
