Climate Change Causes Illegal Entry of Central Americans Into The USA

Lecture by Beto O’Rourke 6/28/2019

The Lecture: You’ve got to remember. They’re fleeing the dumbest countries on the face of the planet today. Compounded by drought that was caused not by God, not by Mother Nature but by us, man made climate change, our emissions, our excesses, our inaction in the face of the facts, and the science. When it’s that deadly, and when you’re unable to grow your own food to feed yourself you have no choice but to come here. 

The Translation: The solution to the illegal entry crisis is to get rid of Trump and take climate action. Ensuring the integrity of international borders and enforcing immigration laws is not the answer. The answer is climate action because the problem is climate change. In the age of climate change, all problems can be framed in terms of climate change, and then solved simply by cutting emissions. This is the brave new world of climate change that Republicans and climate deniers don’t understand.
