In both cases involving people on foot, Moreland said the migrants were not dressed for the cold, Canadian temperatures.

“They did not have hats, gloves, mitts, or anything that we would normally see in a Canadian winter,” Moreland said.

“I will note in both all the incidents that I described today, both in Manitoba and Alberta, the weather was incredibly cold and ranging from -20 to -30 C without factoring in the wind chill.”

Wouldn’t be surprised if all of these people came down with some form of frostbite.

The thing I don't understand is that they're also clearly not dressed for the cold American winter either, it's not like the climate cares about the border.

I drive from Winnipeg to Iowa a lot and the difference is staggering.

There isn't snow on the fields until you are north of Grand Forks.

A little further south and its sweater weather in January
