The Border Patrol says it has insufficient time and space to conduct coronavirus testing at crowded processing stations. Officials in border cities fear further spread of the virus.
Dora Eglis Ramírez and Pavel Brigido Rivero set out from Cuba to seek asylum in the United States last year, as the coronavirus rampaged across Latin America.
Starting their trek in Guyana, they managed to cross eight countries, sleeping in buses and doing odd jobs, without ever contracting the virus.
Then they crossed the border into the United States.
U.S. Border Patrol agents intercepted them late last month in Southern California and transported the couple to a heavily crowded border station. They spent 10 days and nights in cells crammed with Brazilians, Cubans, Ecuadoreans and Indians.
Mr. Rivero, 45, came down with the coronavirus and spent the next two weeks isolated, along with his still-healthy wife, at a hotel with about 200 other migrants who had tested positive for the virus or had been exposed to someone who did.
“I was healthy until I got locked up,” he said.
As the United States vaccinates larger numbers of people and several states begin to reopen after seeing lower infection rates, the failure of U.S. authorities to test adult migrants for the coronavirus in jam-packed border processing centers is creating a potential for new transmissions, public health officials and shelter operators warn, even among migrants who may have arrived healthy at America’s door.

It’s not about the virus. It’s about grooming Americans for submission to the state, and ultimately a global central government.
5 years ago I would have read a post like I just composed and thought the poster was a conspiracy nut job. One of the many things that came from Trump’s presidency is pulling back the curtain and showing us there IS a deep state, and they do things we wouldn’t approve of them doing.
Ooh. The NYT. Right on the story.
And you know that nitwit in the White House is just waiting for these immigrants to cause a Covid surge so they can shut everything down again.
Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees
“Article 44 denunciation
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
3. Any State which has made a declaration or notification under article 40 may, at any time thereafter, by a notification to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, declare that the Convention shall cease to extend to such territory one year after the date of receipt of the notification by the Secretary-General.”

“I was healthy until I got locked up,”
Should’a stayed home!!
“And you know that nitwit in the White House is just waiting for these immigrants to cause a Covid surge so they can shut everything down again.”
Some people think that “people of color” are more susceptible to Covid.
And the media ignore all of it, b/c Biden and Democrats.
And THAT is the biggest problem.
Demanding that WE wear masks, social distance, get experimental vaccinations while a million illegals are dumped into our country without being tested.
Illegal immigrants have more rights than citizens.
This is one more way you can tell the folks in charge are playing us for fools. I thought that after last years blm and antifa shinanigans there was no way americans would be gullible enough to continue the farce, but I was wrong.
