But I do know that they will come.
Right now, they risk their lives, the lives of their children.. everything... to get away from something. Poverty, the cartels, political violence... whatever.
They will come.
Climate disruptions will only make immigrants more desperate.
As I say... I have no idea what to do, but minds far more clever than mine had better get started on a Plan.
