Biden gets a pass on migrant COVID-19 crisis
Washington Examiner ^ | August 13, 2021 | by Ryan Girdusky

It’s been over 500 days since people were told to make sacrifices to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

The self-imposed and state-mandated decrees came at an incalculable cost. Children lost a year of in-person classes, deaths from addiction and despair spiked, small businesses shuttered — with some closing forever. Countless people said their final goodbyes to loved ones over Zoom calls, watching them die alone.

As we enter our fourth wave of this virus, government officials and much of the national media tell us there’s no personal sacrifice too great. Except, that is, it comes to migrants at the border. Many media outlets have gone into full political-defense mode, insisting that the border crisis is not contributing to the pandemic and that fears of 100,000+ migrants reaching the border every month are nothing more than Republicans playing politics.

CNN’s Brianna Keilar did nine minutes of mental gymnastics on Monday, equating concerns about the migrant border crisis with the Charlottesville protests and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. The New York Times's Linda Qiu insisted that migrants couldn’t be contributing to the spread of the delta variant because it is more widespread in the United States than in most parts of Latin America. The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler took aim at Gov. Ron DeSantis for saying Biden is "importing more virus from around the world by having a wide-open southern border."

Kessler said that Biden’s decision to continue Title 42, which allows border agents to deny entry to migrants in greater numbers and more easily, has led to "a big effect in turning back migrants, whether coronavirus carriers or otherwise." He also stated that worries of migrant infection rates were overblown since the number of migrants who were testing positive for COVID-19 was less than border counties' native population.

Just read where the Biden administration wants to stop interstate traffoc by people who have not been vaccinated. However, no restrictions on unvaccinated illegals going anywhere in the country. Aren’t we such a cool bunch of people — formerly called fools.

Some 20% test positive and they live in congested areas of other illegals

Why won't Homeland and Catholic Commie Charities tell us where infected illegals have been dumped? And where they're dumping them today? Why won't they tell us where the children are being 'reunited' with relatives who share the same address? Hundreds share the same address... but have different names? Would sending kids directly to whore houses really be that m less obvious?

The Washington Post and New York Times 'reporters' need to run out and find out what kind of ice cream Biden is eating today... Eff'em.

We have the best and brightest leading our country and they seem to know what is best for us but let the illegals come right on in, as if they have special rights.

What has he not gotten a pass on?

Completely corrupt, incompetent and retarded but the media wouldn’t breathe a word if they were tortured.
