As snow and ice slam much of the southern United States, migrant communities along the U.S.-Mexico border are enduring freezing temperatures with scarce resources.
At a migrant camp in Matamoros, Mexico, directly across the border from Brownsville, Texas, tents made out of blue tarp have iced over as a winter blast brought freezing temperatures and icy rain to the region this week. Water used for cooking and bathing has also frozen.
Many of those living at the camp are waiting in Mexico while their asylum applications are processed in the U.S., under the Trump administration's so-called "Remain in Mexico" policy. President Joe Biden is expected to start processing and admitting migrants forced to wait in Mexico under the "Migrant Protection Protocols" this week.
One resident at the camp, a Honduran woman named Karen, told ABC News she has been at this camp for over a year now with her two sons, ages 10 and 11.
"By the grace of the lord, we are alive," she said Monday in Spanish, after the camp woke up to frozen tents.
She is worried her children will get sick because of the weather, as they experienced snow for the first time.
"Look, look. There is snow. I never believed it," she said. "People told me about snow, but I never believed it -- and now I do."
Power has been mostly out for the past two days in the city, and there is no electricity at the camp. Some volunteers donated coal so that residents could build bonfires Monday night.
On Tuesday, several migrants ABC News spoke with started crying as they recounted their experience fleeing their home country and living in the camp during the extreme weather.

The euphemism ‘Stink on Ice’ becomes reality.
No snow in Honduras. I’m just saying.

It’s worded like they are migrating buffalo that are unable to anything other than follow their built in instincts to migrate towards better jobs in the north.
I can hardly hold back the tears!
Tents ice over as freezing weather hits migrant communities near US-Mexico border

Awwww. You know where it is pleasantly warm this time of year? Mexico.
Evil coal? Oh where are my pearls to clutch?
One word trespassers, as pedo joe might say: “Go back to Guatemala or hundouras.”
Oh well.
Maybe they’ll reconsider now that they’ve had a taste of our weather.
Many are little more than migrating bipedal livestock, following convenient food sources (and indoor plumbing, “free” school lunch, gubmint housing, EBT cards, etc.).
Let’s get a go fund me site to collect money to pick them up and drop them off in Greenville, Delaware.
In America “Tents ice over “ let this serve as a warning.
I guess we need to ruin a few more hotels.
Population replacement is the Left’s goal.
When life hands you ice, make ice tea.
“I guess we need to ruin a few more hotels.”
Might as well, we can’t use them anymore.
Go home.. no problem plus I could care less.
