Caring for people

The Mexican government recommends that the general public avoid exposure to the cold, dress warmly, and pay special attention to children, the elderly and the sick. Mexico is not used to low temperatures and most homes do not have indoor heating, which is common in the United States.

In addition, one particular group is a source of great concern: the migrants camped along the border between Mexico and the United States. Mexicans, Venezuelans and indigenous people from other Central American countries have been in the area for several weeks, and the group is improving the torches as they await the possibility of crossing into Texas through the city of El Paso.
