Human smugglers have been taking advantage of record heat at the southern border to sneak migrants into the US, believing that there will be fewer border officers to stop them, according to officials.

A record number of dead migrants have been recovered at the border as temperatures soared above 100 degrees for 36 consecutive days, the US Border Patrol said.

“We are currently recording a significant number of migrant deaths in New Mexico due to the desert terrain and extreme heat,” the agency told the Border Report.

In the summer, smugglers at the border normally avoid the hottest hours of the day to move illegal immigrants into the US as conditions are considered too dangerous — and opt instead to cross in the cover of night when temperatures are more bearable, law enforcement sources tell The Post.

Funny that. They will blame dead illegal immigrant invaders on climate change while at the same time calling them “Climate refugees.”

I know I am suppose to feel bad but I don’t feel bad when invaders of my country reap what they sow.
