The chaos at the border is risen to "disaster" levels in McAllen, Texas, where COVID-infected migrants are pouring in and the city can't stop them. So much for Kamala Harris's migration "root cause" solution, with her visits to showcase schools in Guatemala. And so much for Joe Biden doing his job as president, as Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis noted yesterday.
According to Border Report:
McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The South Texas border city of McAllen this week put up several tents to house an overflow of migrants with COVID-19 who have been released by federal authorities and have nowhere else to go. But the new tents drew such outcry from residents that late Wednesday city officials announced the facility was being moved.
Overnight Wednesday, six tents had been put up with a capacity to hold 260 migrants, McAllen City Manager Roel “Roy” Rodriguez told Border Report.
How many? According to Fox News:
According to the city of McAllen, since mid-February of 2021, there have been over 7,000 confirmed COVID-19 positive immigrants released into the City of McAllen by CBP, including over 1,500 new cases in the past seven days.
And according to Breitbart News:
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” McAllen, TX Mayor Javier Villalobos (R) stated that the migrant situation is “getting horrible,” hotels are filling up, and migrants can’t be held “in one place unless they want to be.”
Villalobos said the situation is “getting horrible, and we do need some help.”
There's more, according to Texas news outlet Valley Central:
Hidalgo County Judge Richard Cortez told ValleyCentral in a previous interview that there is a nursing shortage and keeping up with COVID-19 hospitalization of residents has not been easy. In addition, the influx in asylum seekers testing positive for COVID-19 is also tipping the scale.

Too bad for the mayor—it takes a few broken eggs to make a Fourth Reich omelette.
Gotta infect the country—and gotta start somewhere...
How did things ever get this screwed-up? The fact that we are allowing it signals the end of the American way.
All the other states have very low covid deaths, including Miss. and Ark. that the news is going on about.
Only explanation I can see for Texas and Florida is illegals.
I’m in a blue state with no mask mandates and almost no deaths.
At what point of infestation of illegals does it have to go before Mayors and Governors act regardless of what Biden and his administration say....because they should. Nobody has the courage to act for the citizens of this country anymore!
Mainly because we kept re-electing Bush League Republicans who then acted like Assistant Democrats.
I’ve gone to spending a lot of internet time focusing on my vinyl LP collection and discussing bible issues and Christian culture, with a bit of time spent here.
I’ve talked about this for over ten years but, earlier this year I crossed the line into actually doing it, and that was when I retired a month ago.
By “this”, I mean I’ve gone full into “fiddle while Rome burns” mode. I wish you youngsters luck, but to be frank, Rome needed to burn.
Sanctuary cities have shown that ignoring federal law or edicts is perfectly acceptable to Democrats.
So when in Rome...
Nor do the vast majority of citizens have the courage to act. So much easier to one day wake up with a boot on one’s face and whine,”How did I get here?”
“The U.S. government now poses the greatest threat to our freedoms. More than terrorism, more than domestic extremism, more than gun violence and organized crime, even more than the perceived threat posed by any single politician, the U.S. government remains a greater menace to the life, liberty and property of its citizens than any of the so-called dangers from which the government claims to protect us.”
John W. Whitehead,
Round them up, deposit them at the Federal Courthouse, and arrest them for trespassing if they step on state property. Only Feds are legally allowed to transport illegal aliens.
Well I’ve certainly adjusted my life with how things are going....figure I’m basically on my own and taking actions to protect and keep myself as independent as possible. .....I retired early and in far better shape in every way than I would have waiting.
You’re just a month into retirement...you’ve yet to experience the fullness of it, I’m delighted with my life and the freedom to live as I want without ‘reporting’ to a job master.
I believe that 100%
If Trump’s Wall had been finished, it wouldn’t be happening, if the gates were welded shut.

Kilmeade: “How can you do that and leave the southern border open to 1m+ people since taking office, many of which have tested positive for COVID-19 ...”
Rand Paul: “Yes. It’s pure hypocrisy. They’re seeding people . They’re taking kids from down at the border who may have it and their plucking them up and putting them up all over the United States as if they’re wishing to seed the country with a new variant... It’s an awful thing to do”.

If Texas is serious about leaving, they better get on it.
What’s Governor Abbott doing? What a loser.
Yeah, that’s true.
