San Diego County, with 3.4 million people, is inextricably tied to Baja through business, culture, and social connections; thousands of families have members living on both sides.
Some 250,000 to 400,000 "expat" citizens now live in Baja California, many of them Medicare beneficiaries, and come back across to visit their families, or to seek healthcare.
"We know for a fact that some individuals, both American and probably non-American citizens, are coming through the border telling people at the border that they have tested positive, and they want to seek healthcare in the United States," Van Gorder said in an interview.

Now, Mexicali medical facitilty (hospital) has notified border US medical facilities that they are sending Americans and green card holders who choose to live in Mexico (lower cost of living) back to the U.S. for medical treatemtn. Those people CHOOSE to live in Mexico unless they want something from the US.
Mexicali says it was overwhelmed, so they diverted patients to overwhelm US border medical facilities. This is all about spreading Covid-19 passively - dressing it up nicer than rest home Covid-19, and expats are more than willing to help.Newsom is onboard all the way - he has the ability to limit spread.
So, rather than expats coming back to the USA to get treatment in a modern healthcare system where they have insurance, you think these American expats infected with COVID-19 are conspiring with Newsom to spread their infections here. Got it.
I am sure there are plenty of American citizens and permanent residents (green card holders) coming across the border into Yuma county.
It is what I hear in scuttlebutt.
Lots of Americans in Mexico, many close to the border. Lots with dual citizenship. Lots with green cards.
