The United States Embassy in Cuba has issued a serious warning to those interested in entering the United States through the border with Mexico.
In a recent message posted on its Twitter profile, the United States Embassy in Cuba has issued a serious warning about the dangers associated with attempting to cross the country’s southwest border.
They point out the increased dangers during the season of extreme heat. Where there are many deaths and medical emergencies due to high temperatures. The tweet echoes a similar statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. CBP highlights the increase in temperatures in the region and the deadly risks that this entails.
The statement specifies: “Temperatures continue to rise along the southwest border. Extreme heat is another deadly danger for those attempting to cross the border illegally, often causing heat exhaustion and dehydration. “Do not risk your life, health and safety on this dangerous journey.”
This message is one of many sent by the United States embassy in Cuba due to the concern of the American authorities for the health and safety of those who try to cross the border without authorization. A practice that becomes even more dangerous during the summer months.
Extreme conditions can quickly lead to medical emergencies, such as severe dehydration and heat exhaustion, both of which are potentially fatal.
Lives at risk at the border
The embassy and CBP urge people not to put their lives at risk on these dangerous journeys, remembering that high temperatures can exacerbate the difficulties inherent in illegally crossing borders. In addition, they emphasize the importance of seeking legal and safe routes for migration.
This call for caution is part of an ongoing effort by authorities to deter migrants from attempting to cross the border in extremely dangerous conditions. And to promote safer and more orderly migration.
