Undocumented migrants who attempt to cross the border from Mexico to the US are disproportionately dying in a harsh stretch of desert that is becoming deadlier due to the climate crisis, a new research has found.
Migrants and asylum seekers trying to enter the US are often forced to traverse the harsh environment of the Sonoran desert in order to avoid border patrols and fortified crossing points. This hazardous journey is putting many of them under severe physical stress, according to researchers, with many dying in the heat due to dehydration and organ failure.
This risk will only intensify as the world heats up further due to human activity, with the research finding that in the next three decades migrants will become so dehydrated in the desert that they will have to carry 34% more water with them in order to survive.

Who says there’s no good news these days?
according to plan
Why are they crossing the desert when they can take a private jet using the half million dollars Joe Biden will give them?
We need a border wall to save these poor people.
In most of the country the smell of Christmas is roasting chestnut and evergreens, here in Phoenix it’s the smell of mesquite burning and roasted meats.
Illegals for the next 30 years will have water resource problems in the Sonoran Desert.
Huh.
It is so sad that we had a President that ruled with his pen and phone and never made laws against winters and the hottest part of the summer. It is a sad loss of what could have been.
Put the Pipe Down!
They should stay home and avoid coming here at all costs.
The deserts of the American Southwest are paradises of comfort, ease, and plenty..........
This article is real craptastic fear porn.
oh
these illegals have attained victim status
social climate justice nuke the gay whales
Good
And this is bad news why?
Too bad, so sad.
Maybe we should warn them not to come here because of that.
Not killing enough of them IMO.
There is no climate crisis.
Really? I guess someone haven’t told the 1.7 million who have crossed over that climate change has killed them! Such BS!
Build a maze that extends for a thousand feet into our border. At the end of each path, install a non-functional water spigot. Might not stop illegals, but will be amusing to watch via security cameras as they struggle with thirst. The only path with an exit leads back to Mexico and a water spigot with salty water. Hey our gov't does nothing, so I can dream can't I?
Mexican migrants know you never cross the Arizona border in the summertime. Most of this surge is OTM-Other Than Mexican.
One of the harshest deserts in the world is now 0.005% harsher.
It used to be you could walk 10 miles before dropping dead in your tracks.
Now you can only walk 9.995 miles and DEAD!
