Eleven Senate Democrats Vote Against COVID Tests For Illegal Immigrants at the Southern Border
American Greatness ^ | 08/12/2021 | Debra Heine

Eleven Senate Democrats on Thursday voted against a modest and commonsense amendment to the Senate Budget Resolution that requires illegal migrants apprehended on the southern border to be tested for COVID-19 before they are transported into the country.

The amendment, introduced by Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), a physician, establishes “a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to protecting migrants and local communities against COVID-19.” Under the provision, migrants will be quarantined and not transported from the border until they tested negative.

This minor impediment to the Regime’s goal of fundamentally transforming the nation through mass immigration was supported by Majority Whip Dick Durbin, and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. The majority leaders urged the eleven radical Dems to switch their votes to be in favor of the amendment “to create the illusion of a united front on the issue of public health at our southern border within the Democrat Party,” according to Marshall in a statement Thursday.

They should be confronted.

Publically and often.

Shouldn’t have been necessary. Our immigration laws forbid the entrance of sick people.

Illegals don't need to show identification. Don't need testing. Don't need to show up in court. Can have access to welfare, education, medical care. They can vote in elections, and don't have to pay taxes...

I think I am going to move to Mexico, renounce my U.S. citizenship, and re-enter as an illegal...

Right.

So you and I have no choice but to get the jabs and cannot do many things without proof of that, plus we have to wear masks all over the place. No choice.

But illegals have a choice to infect others with ongoing Covid infection they have as they enter American towns and cities?

Something is very wrong with that.

Both of my NJ Senators voted against it. In 2007, when Booker was Mayor of Newark, and 3 teens were killed by illegal aliens, he said it wasn’t his job to police illegal immigration.

Meanwhile my teen daughter will be randomly tested at her high school as she’s an athlete (NCS/CIF rules for CA HS athletes).

How could the country possibly have survived without the 17th Amendment? /super sarc

Patriots need to stop the unconstitutionally big, Democratic-pirated federal government in its tracks by doing the following.

Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.

Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments, but also an amendment to clean up the judiciary.

And yet mandatory testing for all faculty, staff, and students at UT of San Antonio. Abbott may have something to say about this or maybe not.

If you think we’re rallying now, you ain’t seen nothing yet! You have members of your Cabinet that have been booed out of restaurants… No peace, no sleep! God is on our side! Let’s stay the course! Let’s show up wherever we have to show up,” said Rep. Waters. If you see anybody from this Cabinet in a restaurant, in a Department Store, in a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd! You push back on them! You tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere! she screamed.

I say we follow her guidance here.

The illegals are meant to live and we, vaccinated, are not. I wonder if the bioweapon is not COVID but the vaccine.

“Before they are transported into the country”? How about NOT transporting them into the country? How about turning them back? Why is that no longer an option?

And...they should turn up dead, disappeared, anything to discourage this BS.
But no....just more complaining on the internet.
We get what we deserve by our own inaction.

“I wonder if the bioweapon is not COVID but the vaccine.”

The bioweapon is the vaccine. That is why they are so freaked out about conservatives resisting. Do you really believe any of these psychopaths could care less about the health of conservatives?
