HOMESTEAD, Florida — Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) told demonstrators and the assembled media outside the Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children that migrant children from Central America “had no choice but to come here” because climate change had ravaged their countries.

O’Rourke said that rising temperatures had created droughts, which made it more difficult for people to grow their own food. That, he said, forced them to undertake the arduous journey on foot to the U.S. border, and to cross illegally.

O’Rourke was the fourth presidential candidate to visit the protest outside the facility, where thousands of teenagers, most of whom arrived unaccompanied, are temporarily housed until they can be handed over to a sponsor in the U.S.

I do not know and do not have the time to ‘search’, but, is O’Rourke catholic? Pappy Francis has called to arms this hoax they call climate change as he leads the locust army on the move.

Escaping climate change is not even an acceptable reason for asylum... so literally no one is saying that.

Hey, beto, you nitwit: Maybe the so-called “migrants” should have invented the fan...or turned on the air conditioners in their sh**-hole countries of origin.

Wasn't he previously nailed for drug use? I've got a STRONG sense that he's STILL USING.

SOOOO__Climate change is happening in South America-—and NOT all over the world?

North America can quit worrying & quit making stupid laws against electricity-cars-food growers-—etc?????

These people have been convinced that they have some sort of RIGHT to inavde this country. Just because this country has more prosperity, that doesn’t mean they can come here in droves & actually INVADE us.

They cannot clean up their own countries——How long before they completely contaminate this one.???

I worked hard for every thing that I have. I won’t back up & give it away to any of these invaders. I WILL fight to hold onto what I have. I sincerely believe that I AM NOT ALONE in that thought.

Is that why so many US Retirees are moving to Central America too?

I thought it was just to get more for your Money and escape the Cold.

Morons like Beno Puto can say any stupid thing that pops into their minds and get quoted all over the DNC press.

Robert Francis O'Rourke, please tell me when I can grow the following in Maine: Oranges, lemons, kumquats, pineapples, bananas, coconuts? Please tell me since I'm thinking of buying 10 acres of land.

I think I'll blame my car running out of gas due to Global Warming...😋
