2020 Democratic candidate and Congressman Beto O’Rourke told demonstrators outside the Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children that the children from Central America “had no choice but to come here†because climate change had damaged their home countries.
He blamed rising temperatures for causing droughts, which made food supply scarce. O’Rourke claimed these circumstance forced the people to come to the U.S. border and cross illegally.
O’Rourke was the fourth 2020 Democrat candidate to visit the protesters at the facility, where thousands of young people, mostly teens, most of whom arrived unaccompanied, are being held temporarily until they can be placed with U.S. sponsors.
