Your observation about human solidarity in the face of winter is a good one. The same has been true of places like Arizona, for the same reason on the opposite end of the climate scale. People who cross the border illegally from Mexico into the U.S. are at the mercy of the Sonoran Desert, which, while beautiful, has no mercy at all. Only the most appalling of the Protect-Our-Borders vigilantes will destroy the unmanned emergency aid/water stations placed there by U.S. authorities to save the lives of people trying to cross that landscape.
