Great reporting from Franc Contreras on the climate emergency that
Hondurans have experienced. In November 2020, two major hurricanes slammed the country of Honduras. We need to consider that many of the migrants entering the U.S. are climate change migrants. Their farmlands were either destroyed or disappeared altogether. Add this to the political corruption, violence, poverty, and hunger they're encountering and they have no other choice than to migrate to the north.

What a horrible crisis. We must have compassion in our laws and policies.
