Weather extremes influence illegal migration and return between the US and Mexico, study finds | CNN

Summary

Nutrition label

86% Informative

People from agricultural areas in Mexico were more likely to cross the border illegally after droughts.

They were less likely to return to their original communities when extreme weather continued.

Scientists predict migration will grow as the planet gets hotter.

The new migration research comes as Republican Donald Trump was reelected to the US presidency.

Increased surveillance and enforcement along the US - Mexico border make returning home — and moving back and forth — more difficult.

Once undocumented migrants are in the US , they often live in dilapidated housing, lack health care or work in industries such as construction or agriculture that make them vulnerable to other climate impacts.
