For weeks, the staff and CEO of Proyecto Juan Diego, a nonprofit that serves families in south Texas, have worked to overcome doubts about Covid-19 vaccines among community members, including many who are undocumented.
But as news circulated that non-U.S. citizens were turned away at University of Texas Health Rio Grande Valley vaccination sites because they did not have legal status, their work became that much more difficult, said CEO Danielle Salgado.
“It concerns us because we are seeking to ensure our communities are safe, and we are promoting getting their vaccines, and it’s a great big barrier when people aren’t able to get their vaccines ... just purely based on their immigration status,” she said.
Although there have been attempts to deny vaccinations to people without legal documentation, the federal government has made clear that vaccines should be provided to all who are eligible, regardless of immigration status.
The UT Health Rio Grande Valley, with campuses on the U.S.-Mexico border, was forced to apologize after Abraham Diaz tweeted on Feb. 20 that his father was denied a vaccination because he was undocumented.

...us Texans ask ourselves why we allow Proyecto, clearly a CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION, to operate in our state.
Future votes for 2022 and beyond.
They need to wait out for the single dose J&J Vaccine.
Fortunate for them, this may have very well saved their lives.
If we enforced our immigration laws to begin with they would not be here and this problem would not exist. They would be looking to their own government for a vaccine.
See how simple that is?
Apparently democrats threw logic out the window 50 years ago when LBJ slithered into the oval office...I bet it took a week to mop up the slime trail after he left...
Makes me wonder if they refused it and ChiComCast is flat out lying about why they weren’t vaccinated.
I hate to say this, but the US is going to be a s***hole in 20-30 years.
We’re already heading downhill fast.
There is nothing wrong with the land in Central America, South America, or Africa.
This NBC “news” reporter should try crashing any other international border, then demand a covid vaccination. Heck she could try it with Canada, just for convenience sake. See how that works out.
Illegal aliens.
They really do feel entitled to come here. I don’t understand the logic, but they do feel that way.
There you go, your god has spoken.. Hope to it.!!
Target rich area?
Why do these people want to come to a virulently racist, white supremacist nation? Don’t they know that the white man will enslave and abuse them? /sarc
Liberals approve of turning away people who come from other states legally, but not people who come from other countries illegally? The left isn’t insane. They are evil.
Exactly. Try to get the vaccine NOW if you are not a health care worker, first responder, teacher or under 65.
Most states haven’t gotten past the groups above to distribute it to any one who wants it.
