Hot temperatures bearing down on Juarez street vendors

JUAREZ, Chihuahua (KVIA) -- With hot temperatures still hitting the Borderland, Juarez residents who have to be outside for work continue to struggle to do their jobs.

According to El Diario de Juárez, Mexico has reported 211 deaths due to heat this year.
