A mayor on the Texas-Mexico border is slamming Joe Biden and his state's federal lawmakers after he was forced to declare a disaster over the surging number of migrants infected with COVID being released into his city.
In a video posted to Facebook Wednesday, McAllen Mayor Javier Villalobos fumed at the White House after 1,500 migrants tested positive for COVID out of 7,000 left in his city by Border Patrol last week.
The city commission voted on Tuesday to set up emergency tents to house the overflow of migrants, but moved it to a county-owned facility further away from residents angry over its location.
Villalobos said the city commission's decision was something 'we shouldn't have to do' in the first place.
McAllen mayor blames DC for COVID rise from immigration.
His message comes after new data shows 1,500 of 7,000 migrants released in McAllen last week tested positive for COVID (pictured: Asylum-seeking families wait for CBP in Roma, Texas, also along the border but far from McAllen, on July 30)
Addressing his citizens the Republican mayor told them 'I know ya'll are angry, we get the calls, we get the texts, we get the emails.'
'Lately we've been getting about 1,800 immigrants a day,' he said. 'Then, coupled with the fact that 15 percent of the immigrants have COVID, have caused substantial problems to our great city of McAllen.'

Biological warfare being committed by our own Government against its people. The evil ones need to be dealt with and treated as the criminals they are.
SPJNK!
And yet the republicans are completely silent. To hell with all of them. I will not vote for a single republican who is in office now. Not that it really matters anymore anyway.
Any American, without a pre-existing condition, who wears a mask, is a chump.
I need a contractor to install chicken wire to keep the mosquitoes out of my house.
At some point, leaders in red states are going to have to do the right thing and then dare Dementia Joe to stop them. We aren’t there yet, but that time appears to be coming.
Florida and Texas lead the nation in where the migrants are being sent. Then Biden attacks Florida and Texas for high COVID rates.
Can’t say I blame your sentiment. Most of them are sniveling, lower lip, quivering cowards who are more than eager ro give away and sell out the country.
My senator is McTurtle and his lack of support for Trump in January was the final straw. I left the GOP for the 1st time in 35 years.
One thing I am 1,000% sure of is we will NEVER vote our way out of this mess. Never.
Biden will just redistribute the invaders to the red states, get them to voting, and turn those states blue.
>>> I need a contractor to install chicken wire to keep the mosquitoes out of my house.
Oh.. i got one better for you...
We should know well from PSAs that condoms DO NOT PROTECT you from HIV.
Why???
Because the HIV virus is small enough to pass through the microscopic holes of the average condom.
Question: Can you breath through a condom?
answer: NO! Of course not... but if you could, the virus is still small enough to go through it.
Then the governors of those states will need to round them up and imprison them, and the residents of those states will need to make them feel unwelcome until that can be done. It’s going to take doing some mean things or at least the will to do them. We aren’t there yet, but we will get there.
It’s a frickin’ invasion. They need to be treated as invaders. Every. Last. One. Of. Them.
Come on, it’s not like they have a 50-50 stalemate in the Senate, and could, you know, actually demand that the administration brief them on where they are taking these foreign invaders, and even better, what the criteria are that are used to decide the destination.
It’s beyond infuriating, but it isn’t new.
States and Counties have the power to lock down and Abbott or county health could simply lock them up.
Freeper thoughts?
yep, Ted Cruz was on CNBC this morning and he didnt say a word about the flow of illegals coming with COVID. NOT A WORD.
If they come to my house to tell me to get vaccinated, I will tell them I am an illegal immigrant living in the house rent free and I have Covid. Give me a hug.
Texas should close their southern border. Tell the Feds they can do what they want. Build a military issue road block and tell the illegals to turn it around. Go to the NN, AZ, or CA borders and try your luck there, but you are not entering Texas. Go Away !
Biden’s border and immigration policies are importing new COVID variants. Delta came from India. Lambda came from South America, and its first detections were in border states.
