Washington: Four members presumed to be from one Indian family were found frozen to death on the US-Canadian border on Thursday, drawing attention to the harshness of American winter and to illegal Indian immigration from the northern border at a time US focus centers largely on its southern border with Mexico. The family consisting of a man, a woman, a teen, and an infant, all yet to be identified, were reported to have been separated from a group of Indians who made it across the border in temperatures that reached minus 35°C. Their bodies were found within metres of the US border on the Canadian side.
