Colorado Snow Equals Migration in the U.S.A.


Colorado gets the most snow in March. That is what the tour guide told me. I was writing a book for students traveling to France and Germany. The headquarters for the tour group was south of Denver, Colorado. The tour guide and I spoke as the weather reporters talked about the snow falling in the Rocky Mountains. The snow brings homeless people to the warmth of Las Vegas. Let me give you two examples that stunned me while publishing with authors out of town: Salt Lake City, Utah and Vancouver, British Columbia. Salt Lake City has a lot of large families. When I was in Salt Lake City working with authors, there were girls with three children complaining that their mothers wanted them to have more children. I never heard this protest before. There was no opinion, no judgement, simply surprise at the fact that this girl was willing to share the anxiety of wanting to have more children with me. The families are large in Utah. Salt Lake City parents are expected to give birth to many children. Unfortunately Salt Lake City lies in the cross roads of a large distribution area for drugs. The city is in the middle of Highway 80 and Highway 15. Highway 80 runs from New York to San Francisco. Highway 15 runs from Canada to Mexico via the border of San Diego, California. Children that slip through the cracks away from their parents protection turn to narcotics. If they live on the streets, they can’t survive the snow. Las Vegas is six hours south if you drive at sixty. Las Vegas has no snow. Homeless drug addicts migrate to Las Vegas when the snow arrives in Utah, Idaho, and Colorado. In Canada, it is the same thing for mild regions like Vancouver. I was interviewing rock bands in Canada. Homeless people escape snow in Toronto by finding their way west to Vancouver. The same is true for Las Vegas in the United States. Nevada is a hot region. Snow in the winter means more homeless people migrating to live in Las Vegas. The police have to raid tent cities. This year, the homeless didn’t leave in the spring. The snow continued to fall in Colorado, so the homeless stayed in Las Vegas. They live in libraries. The libraries put a television set outside near the bathrooms so that the homeless could watch TV to escape. The library had to hire extra security to guard the area for children, readers, and computer areas. The snow will return in four months. Time to leave Las Vegas before more homeless people come to escape the snow throughout the United States.
