Mexican children shiver in tents at U.S. border as temperature freezes

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - Mexican officials concerned about the health of Mexican asylum seekers including around 200 young children sleeping in the open near the U.S. border in Ciudad Juarez tried to move people to shelters on Wednesday, as temperatures dropped below freezing.

“For their own good, they can’t be in these public spaces,” said Enrique Valenzuela, who heads the civil protection services in Chihuahua state and was trying to persuade the migrants to shift to shelters. Policies under U.S. President Donald Trump aimed at reducing the number of new arrivals in the United States have led to tens of thousands of mainly Central American asylum seekers living for months in Mexico as they await U.S. court dates or interviews with border officials.

The coffee he drank was made with water that was still frozen when they tried to pour it into a pot for boiling. His family had been waiting for more than two months to be called on the asylum list, Rodrigo said, and had no plans to leave for shelters despite the weather forecast.

At US border or across US border?

Yep. Thousands of homeless veterans around the USA sleeping on sidewalks freezing also but mainstream media... doesn't report it.

Alsa nice headline: Mexican children are freezing in Mexico.

Who’s fault is that?

Some shiver in their own homes but let's just forget about those kids

I'm absolutely gobsmacked by the comments here. How does someone look at refugee children shivering as a chance to dunk on basic human decency. What is WRONG with you guys?

Good luck…

SobukiRa It is a cruel and inhuman act by the USA authority I have seen some heartless comment about it in here, it is not a crime to be refugees.

Hmm. Sounds like the Mexican govt should do something

Mexican parents & coyote send children to freeze & die only to enrich themselves. FIXEDITFORYOU

Open the doors and let them go back to their warm houses

They should go home

Their fathers are to blame.

Hint...weather is warmer at home down south

What horrible parents. Truly feel sorry their parents would put them in this position.

Bummer. Send then back home so they can warm up

Mexican children in *Mexico

But the senate passed a bill making animal cruelty a SERIOUS crime. Little interest in Hispanice/Latinos children and their families.

So sad

As with everything, I blame the scumbag journalists.

Meanwhile Democrats are impeaching a President for non crimes. Democrats dont care about freezing children.

If they are Cold there Don't send them to Canada...shivering in My House

So do all the homeless Americans

And those that trump stole are being adopted out to the highest bidder for house servants.. a very cruel and inhuman torture for those families.

Tell them to go home ?

So,so sad, and so, so wrong.

It’s easy to say what you would do in a crisis. It’s easy to assume who they are and where they are from. Scary times make you do things you normally would not. We need to help each-other not alienate ourselves from the truth of the problem.

There are so many towns, cities, farms in Mexico to make a life, I would imagine that would be better than a tent by a fence.

This tweet is DAF The kids should GO HOME!!! 🙄

Sounds like Mexico's problem...

Terrible parents.

It’s very cold here at the border especially at night - in the 30s. The temperatures during the day are not getting very high either - low 60s.

Perhaps don’t just show up at a border without permission to enter. Stay home and immigrate the legal way.

This is disgraceful-what has happened to humanity-

they should have stayed in Mexico

Of course...littles always suffer the most when grownups are fighting. By grownups I mean governments, in case not clear.

That's crazy that shivering in America is better than being warm in Mexico.

Maybe they should have stayed in Mexico where it's warmer

Five things you should know about guns lost by G4S, the largest security company in the worldThe largest security company in the world, G4S, reports more than 55 guns missing per year. For perspective, the Drug Enforcement Administration, which has twice as many guns as G4S, loses half a dozen or fewer annually, according to federal audits. G4S Eric Holder calls President Trump Dangerous, yet sold thousands of Fireams to Mexican Drug Cartel. G4S With all due respect 'missing' could mean put on a shelf somewhere, sold and the documentation was lost, etc. Considering that Medicare cannot seem to keep proper records for my uncle's flu shots and has paid for 2 of them this year while he was in a nursing home...

Pork Shoulder Al’Diavolo RecipeLetting this pork shoulder sit at room temperature will help it cook more evenly; starting it at a higher temperature jump-starts the browning process. Fun fact... a roast won’t come to room temperature in 1 hour... it’s more like 10-12 hours Science Hullo, Bon Appétit! This recipe looks delicious, but your apostrophe may be in error. 💕 Nice recipe. You ought to get a longer carving knife, though. Looks like 14 strokes to get through each slice. The right one will give smooth slices (as opposed to ridged) and look prettier.
