World meteorologists predict 80% chance for a year warmer than 2024 in next 5 years
 
McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — A new report by two nonprofit groups finds that climate policies implemented by the Trump administration are driving migrants north to the U.S. border. And it comes as meteorologists predict the world is getting hotter and more prone to environmental disasters.

The report, “Danger by Design: How Climate Injustice Harms Displaced People at the U.S.-Mexico Border,” was released Wednesday by the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) and Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center. It is based on interviews conducted in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas with dozens of migrants from 12 countries in January when President Donald Trump took office.

The report says that environmental disasters both contribute to initial displacement and exacerbate vulnerabilities along migration routes. And that restrictive immigration policies worsen the issue by pushing vulnerable populations into perilous migration routes, where climate-exacerbated hazards pose even greater risks to their safety and survival.
 
“Climate change is a significant driver of displacement, yet current legal frameworks fail to protect people fleeing climate-related disasters and other harms caused by environmental degradation,” the report found.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That didn't take long.

Did these 'non-profit' propaganda farms have their funding cut by DOGE?

Migrants are coming North due to lax immigration enforcement by the Biden admin.

It would help if the US State Department and US Department of Commerce worked to re-source some of our supply chains away from China to Central America.
