MSNBC anchor cites climate change as major reason for migrant surge
Fox News
MSNBC anchor Ayman Mohyeldin said Saturday that climate change has played a noticeable factor in the overwhelming surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Climate change, he said, is "making the farmland and agricultural base ... that much harder to sustain the economic needs of a country that has 17 million people." So, he concluded, thousands are flocking to the U.S. Mohyeldin expanded on that argument on his Twitter page, citing natural disasters as one of the culprits for the mass migration.More Related News
