The city of Weslaco, Texas announced on Thursday they did not know Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley was putting COVID-19-positive immigrants into a local hotel after they were released from federal custody.

Weslaco is one of the towns in the Rio Grande Vally that has seen large groups of illegal immigrants cross the U.S.-Mexico border during the historic surge under President Joe Biden.

A large group of approximately 120 migrants were encountered this morning around 3a.m., by Weslaco agents.

Amidst a dangerous storm callous smugglers put monetary gain ahead of the well-being of those they smuggle.

"A preliminary investigation by first responders revealed that Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley are housing COVID-19 positive immigrants, who have been released from federal custody, at the Texas Inn in located at 1818 N. Texas Blvd. in Weslaco. City administration and officials have reached out to Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley for further information," the city said in a statement. "While the city of Weslaco has no immigration enforcement capabilities, city officials believe in full transparency and urges non-governmental organizations, such as the Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, to inform local governments and officials when and where COVID19 hot spots are created in our communities."

"Providing us with further information can save lives," said Mayor David Suarez. "We take this matter very seriously, and our priority in Weslaco has been and continues to be the health and wellness of our community. We graciously ask Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley to help us protect all lives, including those most vulnerable to COVID-19 complications."

Weslaco is the second town this week to discover Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley were housing COVID-positive immigrants without being informed. In nearby La Joya, the police department discovered COVID-positive immigrants were not staying in their hotel rooms or wearing masks.

Are ANY towns notified?

Nope. They are shuttled in late at night so no one notices.

The elites need to spread panic far and wide using illegal aliens as virus carriers.

It is getting kinda obvious.

(I wouldn’t be surprised if they carried a whole bunch of _other_ contagious diseases that are below the radar now but will be there for panic time later...)

Why is this not considered biological terrorism? Our government is taking people who have not been tested, vaccinated and could have the “deadly” Covid virus and dropping them off unannounced in various towns. If the Russians send infected people into our country and told them to settle in random locations it would be considered an act of war. Our government is your enemy and needs to be treated as such.

Heard it from someone else, but putting known carriers - illegal aliens - into a population is turning Covid into a bioweapon. Should be a consequence to the Administration.
But then, China sent Wuhan residents into the rest of the world with no consequence. Biden figured he could too. IMHO.

Want DC "elites" to hear our voices?

Send 5 bus loads of illegals from high covid rate countries to DC to have 'lunch' in popular DC restaurants.... then to tour the White House and Congress...

"Homeland" doesn't check 'em before they drop them in our red states - why should they be checked before 'visiting with DC 'elites'?
